Default Biggest cam compatible with FI??

How big of a cam would I be able to get and still be able to run a supercharger? Would I be able to use any kind of blower with an MS3 (237/242) or would I just have to use nitrous?

I would say it depends on what the LSA is. But again both nitrous and blowers like a cam with a 112-114 LSA. The other thing to think about is the RPM that the cam peaks at N/A, it will be much higher with a blower since the motor is forced fed instead drawing in the air. I also assume this is a stock cube motor. The more cube with the stated cam and blower would bring the peak power points lower RPMs. That is why most cams are between 214 and 228 durations.

Our blower cam is fairly large, yet it has proven itself in many engines as small as 346 LS1's. Bob

Bob so how does your cam compare to the Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam?

The GT2-3 is velvety smooth, while our cam makes it sound like a 60's musclecar. Both seem to work very well in a wide variety of applications. The GT2-3 cam is going to cater more towards the lower part of the rpm scale, and our cam will pick up the middle and upper parts of the rpm range. Bob

Which cam would make the most power overall lets say if you did alot of Drag racing/freeway pulls?

I really dont care about the stelth aspect as the 345's give it away

Our blower cam will make more power in the mid to high rpm range, and I think you would be real happy with it. Bob
