Are you asking about those people spec'ing you a cam? I ask because you say you have a "cam card" but nothing is there.

I don't think I have seen Thompson Engines mentioned on here before, but I know Huron Speed sells Tick Performance cams. It would probably be alot easier to call Martin@Tick or the guy at Thompson and see what they say.

What is wrong with the engine builder getting the correct cam for you?

what are your power needs? 18lbs of boost isn't a power need... is it?

If you ask three guys to run 18lbs of boost you are going to get 3 different numbers.

Exactly

18lbs on a TC78 is going to be a little less than say 18lbs on a S488 for example.

different cams, different compression, etc. there are a million different variables that would control how much power a car makes at 18lbs.

For example my car at 7lbs is making as much power as many cars at 12lbs on this site.

Compression will be 10.4 with a ls3 gasket. Power 675 to 700 sounds exciting ! Martin I sent you a pm!
