Its Back?!? 218/228 Hot Chili Cam + BOOST? A buddy of mine just called me laughing his *** off. He just got a cam specced out by a workshop to suit his needs. He wants a torquey N/A daily driver and is going to add some boost in about 12 months time.
The specs he was given were:
218/228 .605/.588 XFI/XER LSA 113+1
which is.... THE HOT CHILI CAM

I still haven't put a baby cam in my daily driver, I was all set to go with a Hot Chili Cam but due to the negative responses in that thread, Ive had doubts and have put it off. Now, Im thinking about doing it again
I noticed the Predator-Z has specced a 218/224 .604/.609 113lsa+1 blower cam too which is pretty similar at a glance

I know it looks unconventional at first BUT:
* it has -3 degrees overlap
* a small 218 intake for big torque
* a larger exhaust duration to scavenge
* a 10 degrees split (cheaTR has 16 degrees!)
His car is staying NA for a while then getting a front mount GT42R thats sitting in his house
Someone has to have some thoughts

Results on this cam in any other cars? Looks like it will have issues with the exhaust side because of the low lift vrs duration. You have decent intake but back pressure is common on turbo set ups due to size and location of the turbo. It may work better with a super charger but turbo I would rethink the exhaust side.

Thanks for the feedback.
It has a XER .588 lift 228 duration lobe on the exhaust. (Same as TSP 228R cam)
Are you saying it would need more than that?
Ive seen people happily using 224/224 grinds so I assumed this wouldn't be an issue?
I haven't seen this cam used elsewhere. I specced this cam for a NA daily driver torque cam, and my buddy has just been given these same specs for his GT42R front mount buildup. Non-sponsor workshop.

He told me to go with it on small heads like ported 241's, PRC stg 2.5 5.3's, at the time i was thinking of getting a set if LS2 assembled heads from Jegs for $860 for the pair which is a good deal. But i found a company that hand ports LS heads to whatever spec you want. But i think i like the stg 4 version since i'm gonna be 99% street duty.And Predator-Z spec'd me that same cam and i bet it kicks butt.
