What's the better blower cam? FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 224"/230" .588"/.595" 114LSA - aggressive profile with a 1800-6800 RPM range, fair idle, recommended for blower/nitrous applications
Thunder Racing Custom "CheaTR" Camshaft - 214/230 .601/.578 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band. Broad power range. Works well with stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters. Stock like idle. Minor tuning required on automatic transmission cars. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.
The FMS cam has the longer duration, but the CheatR cam has higher lift and LSA (Which I hear helps with blown setups?
). Which would work better?

i was going to go with the F7 but went with a CamMotion custom grind of 222/230 .574/.580 114+4 lsa to get back alittle bottom end power. This cam will be run on 10-12lbs of boost. Hope that helps you out.

I think (huge generalization coming) that the TR cam would have a higher peak, and maybe the FMS cam might have a bit more power under the curve.
I went from a 230/236//115 to a 236/246//114 and picked up like 70rwhp under the curve and very little up top....
