I was planning on spending the dough and turboing my escort, but i saw that escortfocus.com as a street/ mild race cam. would having a new cam with more duration or less duration be the best?

You would see better performance gains from a turbo than just a cam swap.

Forget a cam for now. Worry about spending every thing on getting good turbo componets.

At that point you'll bo to worried about clutch/tranny to be messing around with a cam.

let me rephrase. i plan on doing both but the cam i can get for cheaper than usual. would a long duration be better for a turbo or a shorter one?

A turbo cam would be best with a shorter duration and higher lift. Shorter duration for off boost and the turbo will kick in sooner and take it all the way to redline. Longer duration will not have good torque down low to get the car rolling but will accel on top in with the turbo and the cam. Hope this helps.

thank you that does answer the question. the only question i have now is... where the hell did you get that exhaust manifold? I want one!
