advice needed on a G161 Turbo cam grind

Hey all,

Just wondering what cams people are using in their turbo G161 gemini's?

- VALVE TIMING
- DURATION
- VALVE LIFT
- POWER RANGE

Cheers

I am running a Wade turbo cam in my G200, I dont remember specs off top of my head, but I remember it was the largest regrind they could do, they didn't have any new billets to use. Cost about $120 I think.

Very noticable mid-high rpm torque increase, definitely moved the "powerband" up, not really lumpy like a NA cam, but you can tell its not standard at idle

You should look into them, any machine shop should have their number.
