FPs are Comp Cams actually.

Are they exact in comparison to the comp cams? If that's the case I can get them a lot cheaper than what FP sells them for lol.

No they are not the same grinds comp sells.

Its possible Comp just makes the "FP grinds" for FP only, but you could call Comp and see if you can get them. If that is the case its like Nissan 300zx Toga bearings, which are Kings packaged in tishue paper, but you can not get them straight from King.

So Im thinking about going with the BC 288s. With springs and retainers. Do you think that these will be good cams for me?

You might have to get the valve guides shortened and moved, if the lifts are really that high. You might want to consider the FP3x, since you have a stroker and a normal turbo. Those BC288 look like they are made for a 74+mm turbo reving to 10,000.

The thing is I dont know shit about cams. All these numbers just go over my head. I realize what they mean but have no clue like what matches up with what or what is optimal for my setup. I have a 20G now but I want to upgrade. Possibly a GT35 or something.

I would do like Shane said and get the FP3x's. They are pretty good sized and made for a stroker.

Your springs are not titanium, just the retainer. Also you have way to much spring for the crower 414s.
