RE: Whats the best cam for turbo setup
Comp 400 and Crane 12 are both excellent turbo cams because they both stay within the stock powerband and make low end and high end power (you dont need to rev high when you turbo these motors), among other reasons. For a standard SOHC head I would say go with the 12 though...

the crane 12 is good but the comp 400 has too much overlap for turbo setup.

RE: Whats the best cam for turbo setup
ok so just to list it out if i wanted to put the magnum head on my car i'd need:
Magnum Head
Borla or r/t exhaust manifold
valves
springs
cam #12
retainers
guides
am i missing anything? how much could i get out of all of that? just 10-15 whp? or could i do with titanium springs( and what else) for more gains....?

You only need the valves and guides if your buying a bare head, otherwise it should have those already installed. Just so you know, the standard SOHC head and the Magnum head use different valves, they are the same size, its just that the Magnum valves use a triple bead lock for the retainers, while the standard SOHC head valves use a single bead. The Magnum valve springs should be fine with the Crane 12, but if your more comfortable with titanium springs and retianers then go for it...just make sure the retainers are the triple bead kind. You'll also need all the gaskets and new headbolts, and you'll have to decide what you want to do on the intake side of things...

You don't need upgraded retainers with a crane cam #12 grind and the new springs. That is all you need.
