[urq] NF / MC2 Cam Question??

[Brandon Rogers]

why would these non turbo cars have the same cams as the turbo cars- don't 
turbo cars generally want less overlap from their cams?  Or does that only 
come into play on really hi-perf naturally aspirated engine cams - where the 
factory cams are pretty mild....?
