Hey everybody!
I need some help. I'm looking for aftermarket potential on the 20v silvertop. Something other than "Blitz turbo" and "why not blacktop." Because I cant afford the Blitz turbo and the blacktop is weak IMO after doing research. I need something like internals, manifolds, etc. Any help is appriciated. -Ti |

With cams, you have to watch the overlap. Overlap is when both the intake and exahust valves are open. More overlap=better top end and worse idle. That's why they made VVTi, it increases the overlap later in the RPM band so you have the best of both worlds.
Anyway, with a turbo you DO NOT want a lot of overlap, because the exhaust will actually backflow into the cylinder (because of the pressure built up against the turbine). However, going with higher LIFT cams is fine. The problem there is you put a lot more pressure on the valve springs and you need high performance ones... and it's more wear and tear. Those are the basics anyway.
