Default Heads/cam for D1SC

When using ported or aftermarket heads on an FI motor, is a large cam still as important as with an NA motor? IE...

stg 2.5 317 heads from TEA with 2.04 int valve, 1.57 exh valve, with 212/218 lift .522/.525 dur Cam....On a 6.0L

I guess my question is, is this setup going to work well or do I need a larger cam? Any suggestions please!!

Talk to some sponsers and ask them for advice. Hopefully they'll be glad to help. Ive been talkin to speedinc and they've been helpful to me.

Is a large cam still as important as with an NA motor? No. Just by upping the boost you will force more air into the engine with the blower. A larger cam helps, but is not essential. The camshaft you have will work just fine, how much power are you looking to make? Bob

On 7lbs I made 475 with stock LS1 241 castings. I would like to see 550-575 with these new heads and 10lbs.

I'd keep the cam you have. 550-575 rwhp will not be a problem. Bob
