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.
