So did Turbo Mag go outta circulation, or what? I found the June issue, but can't find the July issue anywhere, and several stores have told me that they no longer carry the mag ...

Ha, yeah it seems like the next issue is slow getting on the stands. I'll buy one this weekend if I can find one, and post a scan or 2 from it.

By the way for anybody who wants to order back issues of Turbo mag there is a link to that back in post #165. I was surprised, the mag is not really a waste of money cuz there are lots of good tech articles in it. Not the usual glitz fest that most "tuner" mags are. I've been getting DSport and Modified for a long time, but I'd say Turbo is much more tech oriented.

Looking back at the issues I see that this cam shootout is actually in 4 parts.
They are in the June, July, August, and September issues.

I just buy the Sept magazine and there no results of the GSC S3 , Tomei solid or FP5.

I would like to see the results of this at 3 cams at 30psi.

I got the October issue of Turbo and there's nothing in it about the cam test.
Does have a pretty good article about the Supra that holds the record in "Unlimited Street Class" at the Texas mile!

First of all, thanks to the guys at AMS who not only did all the work but also decided to devote the time to this project.

To y'all cam gurus:

With a larger (or even stock) turbo, would it be better to have more exhaust duration than intake duration given the same lift and lobe characteristics?

I don't understand cams too much, but how would the GSC S1 intake cam work out with the Kelford exhaust cam?
