Default Camshaft recommendations

What's a good cam for my turbo build? What about Nismo 99996-S1CK cams?

Obviously by the lack of responses to your question,cam installs
are not something the average Z owner does.My car is N/A.I'm
running a Nismo R tune cam set.For what its worth,I'm very
pleased with the performance.

no one knows what your turbo build is, so no one can recommend any cams.

Building a higher compression turbo motor. I'm going to need cams to make it work. I'm also not sure what Im going to do with the crankshaft, not sure how much power and tourqe the stock one can take. This is my first import build, I usually build F/I mustangs. I have one now pushing 18lbs of boost that just made 700 on the dyno.

I call bs....if u built high horsepower cars u would know that high compression and boost equals pre-ignition unless ur tryin to run race fuel in there...sounds like ur just jabbing at a question to not get flamed for not searching

The motor has to be set up for it. I will set the cam and ignition time accordingly like I did with the mustang. Or maybe I should get some real low compression pistons and build a low budget turbo rat like the ones I see at the track every weekend.

I was interested in those cams because I can get them fairly cheap. However I just found specs on them and I don't think that they will offer enough valve lap during high rpm to benefit my high compression build.
