So if you are pretty much stock, then you will probably notice a nice increase, if you are looking for a reliable high horse power build stay away. Also make sure the cams are in good shape or you might risk jacking your valves as well as you guides, that could get pricey...

Cams dont add air, or fuel, so please tell how you are going gain few a ft/lbs or HP?.They adjust as to the amount of air and fuel to allow the power to be increased within the powerband, but with that lost in another area of that same exact powerband.

Basically in Lamens terms: Turbo cams allow more top end power, NA cams are more for the Low end to make up for not having a turbo.....Now with that in mind, you take the Intake cam from the NA that is the going to make the powerband in the lower RPMS, and put that in the Turbo.

What is your result?
You are sacrificing some of the Top end power that you had originally from the turbo intake cam but you will get the difference of the NA cam to come into play in the Lower RPMs of the powerband.
