Thought it was quite similar to the Piper 285 (not the T2).

the power eng. cam is the SX 428 T which was based on the profile of the piper 285 T ( not the T2 ) im sure power had this cam made for them by the guy who had the copyright for the piper cam ( 285 T & 285 T2 )

Thing is, when I had the powers cam in, the turbo would spoon up a lot later. power would cut at redline obviously. However the turbo stills wants to do more. The tuner told me i should get my rev limit removed.

one of my customers 1600CVH runs a stg3 turbo and head with a CVH34 cam hits full boost at 3400rpm or so and holds 26-27psi which drops to about 24psi all the way to the limiter at 7200rpm and produced 24x hp IIRC on the rollers

but i would say raise the limit if the engine can take it and is built for it

whats the full spec of the engine?
