Turbo and N/A cam differences

I'm trying to figure out the differences between a cam for n/a and turbo. Does a turbo cam like more duration on the exhaust to help the turbo spool up? What about lobe separation?

Anything you guys know is appreciated.

Also, I'm curious about the differences between a cam for s/c and n/a motors.

lober seperation

 

I believe the n/a is in the 106 range and turbo is in the 109 range. less overlap on a turbo setup so you don't blow it right out the exhaust during overlap. typically less duration is required, 220-230@.050", but they do like lift.

I don't know if this relates to the L6T,but most cams for blown V8's have wide 112-114 LSA's to keep the overlap down and some have a split pattern with a longer intake duration. I would like to try a LSA a little wider than the commonly available 109-110 for the L6 and see what happens. It might not get the high peak power numbers of a tight LSA but it would probably give a broader,less peaky power band with more overall average power under the curve?
