I'm running a T3 high flow(18psi boost anything after the turbo boost's out). I found with tuning a wade 1147c the turbo would boost out making the air less dense & too lean for a small turbo. Then I oped for the wade 818. Great cam with a good mid range power band. Less detonation than the wade 1147c & apparently allot easier to tune then a bigger camshaft. I'd recommend speaking to a tuner first before you purchase a cam upgrade.
