You don't want a "choppy" cam in a low compression turbo 454 with cast components. The cam dictates the Rev range where the motor is most efficient at making torque. Your cast motor should be kept below 4900-5000 rpm.
We also have no idea how well the turbos will spool up with a cam that has a torque peak way faster than your "planing rpm".
If somebody ran it like it is, then start there.
You really shouldn't jump so far ahead of yourself.
Besides, you need to creep up on speed with your new hull..
Find the casting numbers on your pistons and send photos.. Find the casting numbers on your heads. Find the stamped number's on the face of your cam. Those are good starting info we need in order to help you..
