Once upon a time I had heard that SC cams would wake up an otherwise stock turbo. Later I had heard of using other cams to do the same thing.

What cams would be recommended for a stock 3.3 Turbo?
I have always liked the SC cam for driveabilty.
You can open the intake to 36-37mm, cross drill he crank, upgrade the turbo and jack up the compression slightly. Of course better head studs. Twin plugging is an option if it's in your budget. Do all this and turn up the boost and 350 hp is an easy target.
At this point the trans becomes a critical issue. Trailing arms and chassis mods also become hyper important with all this torque.
I will add pictures of the intercooler and muffler tomorrow.
Cheers
