What piston/cam do you recomend for a turbo app.

My goal is a low 10 high 9 ET s10 with a/c and overdrive IT WILL BE A DD!!

You can sell your stuff in the classified section. Sell for a little less than you paid. Its just like anything else, people are going to try to pay a little as possible and your going to try to get as much as possible, then everyone meets in the middle.

I would shoot for 9.0-9.5:1 range of compression and call someone like Comp Cams for a recommendation, since most of us dont have much turbo experience.

diamond makes some really nice dish pistons. i would shoot for like a -15cc dish and use some 72cc heads that should net you around 9.0:1, if you stick to a stock stroke, if you go with a bigger stroke you'll need to get a bigger dished piston. i've been around some builds that used Speed Inc cams with their turbo with good results

I have had excellent results with Diamond pistons. The Shelf stock -15cc is a great piston for the power you will need. If you can spring for it I would have them skirt coated.

I like jnoehl's recommendation. -15cc piston and a 72cc head for right around the 9:1 range. Speed inc like he mentioned has a great turbo cam in the TU1 its a 225/225 .581/.581 113LSA. Smller then my cam but an excellent turbo cam for sure.

My current combo is the 15cc dished piston and a 64cc head putting me at 9.5:1 12psi no problem on pump gas.

so what lsa on a cam is good on a turbo i thought higher the better?
i have nitrous cam now and it is almost the exact same as the specs you just mentioned but with a 112lsa

Im going to assume you have a TR224 by what you have mentioned. I wouldnt spend the money on a new cam for only a change of 1* In LSA for what its worth my current cam is on a 112
