putting a cam in my SOHC

Why replace rockers? You have to replace valve springs depending on how wild the lift of the cam is. Turbo cams usually have a lot of lift, compared to a performance NA cam which has more duration. Too much lift gives you a lopey idle, I know from experience, good luck.

You need to leave the stock cam in and place the other one on top of it becuase DOHC is the only way to go ;)


And yes the turbo cam will have less overlap, I would suggest putting money into the bottom end becuase the cam isn't going to give you big gains compared to more boost.
