probably not, FI and NA cams are completely different and have different properties, you can't really mix and match.

well lets take volvo for example. You can take cams from an N\A inline 5 Volvo 850 and throw them on an 850 T5-R which is turbocharged, as a performance mod.

same thing goes for the 240\740\940 Turbo Volvos. although there are a few N\A cams that wont do anything for you.. there are couple others that will give gains in HP & TQ.
