Default d1sc on a torquer v3 cam car?

I have an 02 ls1 fbody w/ full boltons and a torquer v3 cam. (231/234 .644/.598 111lsa) I also have full suspension. I want to know how the cam will respond to the boost? I realize it isnt the most optimal cam but i think it might work good being that it has soo much intake lift and such.

What most people are going to tell you is that it's not the best cam, run it and then change it when you can... You should try to sell it and pick an '02-'04 Z06 cam... It'd be much better suited for boost...

It certainly is not an optimal blower cam, but it will work. If you don't have a forged bottom end, it really won't matter as you still can make plenty of boost for your stock internals from this camshaft. I'd shoot for 8 psi of boost, and you'll have a lot of fun with it. Bob

On a cam with 10*+ overlap, I wouldn't even mess with it it would bleed to much.
~5* overlap is not bad for racing applications, but 10+ and you're wasting energy.
Not to mention that the intake lobe is a LSK, so good luck controling that lift under boost at high rpm.

IMO you spend big $$$ for system, spend another $400 on a custom cam for desired application.

Agreed, since your going to be taking off the hub/balancer your right there for the cam.
