drawthrough setups are very unreliable and difficult to tune correctly. since you have a 350 chevy look for a tpi injection intake assembly so you can convert it to fuel injection. they can be purchased cheap. megasquirt for the computer will work great. gl

I have a complete drawthrough setup which came off a imported corvette from America to Australia.The owner wanted to keep the corvette original so I brought the turbo setup.All I want to know is what type of cam and heads to use.The motor will end up going in a daily driven car.

Do you have any information about the turbo? Most of these engines will not need a very aggressive cam, but it depends on exactly what your goals are - and what the turbo can support. You'd want to match the engine's powerband to the turbo's air flow range (or vice versa).

stock cam should be more than adequate or you can purchase a cam with less valve overlap which is good for boosted applications.
