Default Blower cam for boost?

Hey guys recently got this cam package from TSP for my LY6 when I was just thinking of staying N/A. That has changed and I plan on going boosted. I called TSP and they said that the LS3-B blower cam would be good for me, and that I could change out the cam and nothing else. This is the cam package I have down below now:


The LS3 blower cam is 227/235 .639/.646 114LSA, will the cam still preform well with a boosted? I was thinking LS9 cam but I don't know if I can ever go back to not having a lopey idle. The turbo I was thinking of running is BorgWarner S475 1.10 a/r, and a 83mm compressor wheel.

I doubt the guys at Texas speed would steer you wrong, but that mentioned replacement blower cam is mighty close to maxing out those springs.

Personally, I would either use the original cam you had lined up for the n/a build, or upgrade to .700" lift capable springs and use their recommended blower cam.

But honestly, I don't know ****.

Yes that is close to maxing them out I never noticed that, maybe I'll give them a call and ask about that. The original cam is in now but I heard 112LSA isn't good for a turbo and also with how big it is.

Really I was just seeing if the blower cam will work against me or with me when I turbo it.
