Post Which cam for a vortech blower?

So Ive decided to put more money in my car lol. I currently have a 02 z28 with a v9 gtrim blower. Im running a hooker cat back exuast and few other minor mods. Im planing on having headers installed next week.

My question is I would like to add a cam, but Im a uncertain where to start. What recomendations do you have? On vortech site it states to go mild. Any thought?

Thanks

How do you want the car to idle, drive in traffic etc ?

You cannot go wrong with a mild cam and FI.

218/224 would be a good street cam, a 224/230 is nice too, but it shifts the power band up.

depends where you want the meat of your power to be.


I have a 2.65 pulley and belt if you want to run a little more boost. you may have to use a spacer with it.

Run Jet hot headers with a offroad y pipe, you should pick up 20-30 hp.

Try Speed Inc. they have some new blower cams out I believe ,EPP has a nice blower cam available. EPP's blower cam is one of the more aggressive grinds I've seen for an off the shelf cam and don't forget Futral Motorsports, I believe they have 2 different cams out. You just have to scroll through them carefully otherwise you'll overlook them.

Im using a Ls6 Cam very pleased with the results. Great cam for a supercharged application. Should be able to pick one up for less then 200

I know this is a old thread but I am in the same boat now also, I need some cam specs for the Engine. I want it to be more of a strip car than a street car. thanks for the help
