I'm no expert on turbo ls cams, but that cam may not be a good match. For the duration the lift seems awfully low and the LSA is pretty tight. I know a lot of guys run the Brian Tooley cams. You can get an idea of the cam specs off his website.

Good to know about the alternator clearance. Would putting a 90 pointing down off the headers and mounting the turbos vertically help with clearance? Not really a turbo guy so don't know if they can be mounted that way. Maybe oiling problems?

The cam I've been looking at most is this one.

I think it's be a little better for my turbo setup. From what I've read the lower Lsa cams make the most power, but the idle is rougher and run a little slower down lown. The higher the is a the smoother the idle, the faster the lower comes in. I'm talking to ljms about his stage 2 4.8 turbo cam as well.

And I'm currently rolling around a radiator idea about leaning it forward and that would give me the clearance to mount the turbo higher and forward facing in the middle of the bay. Using something like this with a bug 16 inch fan.

I like where ur head is going, placement is huge with this because of running the rest of the hotside pieces. But one thing at a time right now, which is the oil pan tomorrow.
