Every cam is a turbo cam? Wait what? That doesn’t make sense. right? Well it actually does, sort of. Sure there are high performance combos that can make more power with optimal parts, such as camshafts, pistons, intake manifolds, and cylinder heads. But the truth is that power adders ALL add power to virtually every engine even in stock form. If you take a stock 5.3 and change NOTHING on it with regards to hard parts, but give it boost via a turbocharger or centrifugal supercharger, it will make more power than it did in stock form. We know this, because aftermarket bolt on turbo and supercharger kits make big power gains without getting into the camshaft or other components. So why do lots of guys, looking to make moderate power, think they need some of these high dollar parts?

Don’t get me wrong, we love those parts and love when we can use them. But if the difference between racing our car and not is the dollar amount for a new camshaft, then we’d really love to be able to go racing instead of sitting out the season saving our money.

Richard Holdener agrees, and wants eveyrone to understand what a blower or turbo cam really does for them in their application. And with more engine testing than about anyone else on earth, this guy has the info and data to back it up.
