IIRC someone with a VS cam and a turbo was hitting 11s. Im sure the XP cam should be ok. Id talk to Zooomer or Matt to get a definate answer.

xp and turbos can be made to work. From what ive been told and talking to a few guys with turbo setups, a VS is a better choice(over xp only). the durations seem to be differ on blower cams, IIRC the diff was it being to much duration on one side i belive it was the exhasut side.
feel free to chime in, im basicly just passing along info ive gathered.
Depending on how far you take the car that cam will end up holding you back some

cams are a major install, and you never get the money back, id say just leave it untill you want to do the full change over....

Stattma has a nice selection, and cartuning will have theres out at some point

S1,S2 work well..but not great with a turbo. you can use it, but the gains are much better with a turbo specific cam.

heck you'd be better off just using a stock cam, with 1.9's and a tune.
