Default Supercharger cam, but still want some lope....

I know lope and FI isn't supposed to mix well, but I love the way a supercharger sounds with a little lope. so my question is what cam should I buy to get the lope sound but not kill power too bad... My current cam sounds really good, but I think it's becasue of the bad tune that's in it. But I love the way it sounds right now.

I can't say that I've ever heard of anyone losing power with a supercharged combo due to too much overlap. Everyone seems to agree that too much overlap will bleed off boost, but how much is too much? I'd be willing to bed anything less than 5 deg overlap at .050" will be fine.

Check out the camshaft used in this Camaro SS. We have seen this camshaft work very well with forced induction. Bob

We have it in the stock cubed twin turbo Corvette that is making 790 rwhp as well as in many 382 ci engines, it works well in both. A larger engine would make it slighter milder. Bob
