Question on Cams...

With a good camshaft (Helix 2, PDR, etc...and port and polish) they are supposed to increase spool up dramatically over a stock cam right? And also allow more air into the engine at a given rpm right? So my question would be would it be more appropriate to run a smaller twin turbo system or a larger twin turbo system with enough fuel? If anyone can help clear these thoughts of mine and show me the reasoning behind it I would be very thankful, thanks in advance everyone!

Well the cam does help spool up but if you run a massively large set of twins the cam might not be enough to help you spool them bad boys up.

Doing the cam would let you run a smaller set of twins and keep killer spool up plus give you more air to help keep things cool......thus not having to step up to the laggy large twins.

I have no personal experience in this, but that's what seems to be most logical from everything that I've read so I could be completely wrong
