Default What difference in power delivery on cams?

My 3dr spec

Gt35 .82
Swedish inlet
7:1cr
Je pistons and farndon rods
Fully ported head STD valve size
Rs500 cooler
External waste gate
Emerald ecu


I'm running a bd16 inlet and bd14 ex

What difference would it make if I change to STD exhaust cam

You'll get a lot less lag.

With that turbo leave it as is, 16 and 14 are not such a bad cam combination

It will transform the car and around 4.5k will have circa 90lb ft more torque but it wont hold on to power for as long in the rev range..
To achieve all this the cam timing is key as well as the mapping..
We did almost the exact same as the above and went from circa 450 hp and 410lb ft to an end product of 549 hp and 490 something lb ft
