Default crane 12, 14, 16 cams.

as soon as my dad gets a car i will be putting a turbo on my car. (he drives mine to work and doesn't want me doing that to it while he's driving it.) i have enough money now for the turbo kit and cams. its a DOHC. i read that the 14's are specifically designed for turbo applications. but what will the 16's do that the 14's wont? and also will the car sound like its running rough at idle? cuz i like the sound of that. be sure to explain your answer. thanks.

10's would be about pointless to get...12's arent that aggressive......14's would be the best for turbo.....16's are a bit more harsh for a turbo, better for a N/A

You want the Crane #14 because of the split duration that it has. The exhaust duration is less which in turn helps spool the turbo quicker.

ok thanks everyone. is there any modification needed to make them work? also how hard is it to do? do you have to retime it?

You will need upgraded springs to go along with the cams. You will have to reset the timing when you replace the cams anyway. Might be a good time to change the timing belt, wate pump and idler pulley as well.
