The engine will idle fine with a piper 285. Pick a cam to suit your turbo.

Bommer, what does yours rev too?

Had Piper 270 and 285 with T25 turbo. Now i have BBPT GT Cam which is almost the same as CatCams 5500326 and it was best fit for T25 and for GT2554 that i have at the moment. You do not need to rev it over 6500 but you can if you want to.

Fitting vernier is a must with Piper (in my case) while CatCam is better "balanced" but still have one with it which is BTW lighter and thinner than Piper's.

p.s. 270 worked very good with standard T2.
