cams, cam gears, ported and polished head, pulleys, thinner metal headgasket to lower compression when you put the kit on

you want a thicker headgasket to lower compression, thinner will raise it which will not be good. Plus, I don't know of any aftermarket headgaskets of anything thickness for the KA, its one of the complaints of Turbo KA guys.

I would say go with the stock cams...unless you can find some cams ground specifically for a turbo KA. From what i have heard, lots of aftermarket N/A Cams will have too much overlap or something :D Im real technical :-)Tyler:thinker

I did write thicker the first time but the damn server wouldn't let me post. The second time i tried i started thinking about my car and how bumping up the compression would help me and yeah bad idea with a turbo. My bad. I'm not trying to spread any misinformation. So that's my excuse. hehe. :)

Hey goodbar, would a fairly mild cam like mine work well with a turbo?

How about the PDM-Racing cam regrinds? They are from colt cams, essentially, but they are really good for n/a, but how would they be on KA-T?
