I think you should ask him why he chose that cam and the reasons behind it.

I too find it weird that the secondary profile is lower than that of the primary. The only assumption I could make is maybe he wants a stronger primary profile to overcome the turbo lag in the initial revvs. And then let the turbo carry on from there once it starts spooling and producing sufficient boost.
Rahul,

I dont have to worry about my car breaking down.The person who sold me the parts(tuner friend abroad) does not sell parts, he builds engines. I trust him 100% and a the end of the day like you said if anything goes wrong I have myself to blame. He has not built my engine the block is bone stock and all the valve train was assembled here in India. Secondarily Turbo charging was never in the immediate pipe line and he is not even aware I have TC'd the car.

As far as the cam goes I specifically told him I want a torquey profile as I drive 90% of the times in city traffic and drag maybe 2-3 times a year at the max.

Hope that clarifies matters. The cam profile is not such a vital component IMO that should give me reason to worry. If at all the Cam would not perform as expected that the worst that could happen. Dont have to worry about that either now as the cam has been tested and is doing a great job. He has not hidden anything from me I gave him the freedom and he has provided the specs as well.
