If you have a dual cam ZC, browntop d16a1 cams MIGHT work even better since they are the mildest cams avilable for any DOHC ZC.

Re: >> CAM. VS. TURBO <<
the regrinded cams i have have a steep slope and a steep drop..( ^ ) like that.... my stock cams have a gradual slope and a gradual drop.... ( n ) like that sorry for the poor description...so that means my stock cams would keep the valve open for longer.. which would be bad ...and the regrinded ones would just open and close the valve real quick ...which would be better...right

Re: >> CAM. VS. TURBO <<
from what I've experienced and also read. running an aggressive N/A cam creates more power than so called turbo cams.
the only thing about the n/a cams on a turbo car is that it moves your power band higher. I am using skunk 2 cams, and it feels like I gain most of my power from 7000rpm to 9600rpms. even though I have power throughout the whole range it feels really wicked in those ranges. when I used crower turbo cams, I had egual power throughout the whole rpm range.
when I used gsr cams they felt worst than the stock b16 cams.
I dont have access to a dyno so all these tests are street tests. on the *** dyno.

Re: >> CAM. VS. TURBO <<
You obviously know what your talking about 
there are cams made for turbo, supercharged and nitrous applications.
and they make a big diff
as for using n/a cams for a boosted app
thats like using 4/10 gears in a camaro for diving on the high way.
THAT DOSE NOT MAKE SENSE!
