And what are the exact specs of the t3/t4 that would be optimal for a 3L? 60 trim .82 A/R ?

Also if I am going the turbo route would it be better to swap the SVT cams with the escape cams?



It wouldn't be too hard to swap in a T3/4 if you don't mind reconstructing flanges on up/down pipe and intake piping. Not as hard as doing it yourself anyway.

The size for a 3L depends. a .82 trim is big and although it starts spooling just above 2000 rpm on mine it doesn't see full performance until closer to 3000rpm.

The .64 trim is good, will spool quicker and make a lot of power.

I guess it just depends on what you want your response curve to look like.

The escape cams work great with a turbo! Check out my dynos on my website for a comparison of SVT and escape cams.

You may have too much low-end torque though and it can make getting traction at higher boost levels a bear! I prefer the SVT cams for having more linear, controllable torque curve, but they definitely don't make as much torque as the escape ones.
