Small Cam results with Centrifical blowers Since alot of people ask about Cams and blowers I figured it's a good time to post this.
This is a 2002 Corvette with an ECS paxton kit at 8lbs of boost. Before #'s are 8lbs,longtubes and fuel system. After is just a 220 Cam (Our FI #1 cam) that idle's at 18 inches of vacuum,dual valve springs,same pulley setup.
This was at the same timing across the board and 11.5-1 A/F. After meth was added but timing was left the same for added safety. Just shows big Cams are not needed till big boost.This is the 5th FI car we've done with the same setup and the first one was done 2 years ago.These engine's can make 590-600rwhp and live a long life,just make sure the fuel system is more than enough.

Your hit the nail on the head. My cam is considered small also. 222/224/.581/114. Big power small cam much better than big power large cam. The cam will effect fuel mileage tremendously. With today prices everyone should set a power level first and he who hit it with the smallest cam WINS

nice results guys
We are big on using small cams and love that near stock idle & drivability.
We recently did a 04 Vette, A4, 3.42 diff, LS6 Cam, P1 @ 9#, ET 225 72CC, LG LT's.
stock intake/TB
it was right @ 590 rwhp ...remember it's an auto and plenty power for a stock short.
The car looks, drives and sounds stock besides the little noise from the P1.

forcd ind, I'll send you some pics & the measurements.
Oh, and get the new stage 2 ECS ProCharger bracket!!!
I have now seen the new ProCharger Stage 2 Corvette bracket in person, and it was still no comparison to the original ECS bracket. ECS just released a new ProCharger bracket w/ redesigned tensioner setup that allows for 15minute belt swaps like their current Corvette Paxton Novi kits. The bracket was designed to accommodate the large ProCharger head units as well, F1 and F2 series blowers, so you have room to upgrade down the road without changing brackets.
And yes, the P1SC and D1SC dimensions are exactly the same. When I upgrade to a D1SC ProCharger will simply change the internals of my head unit.
PICS/MEASUREMENTS SENT.

sorry 
cleared out the clutter.
Back to the topic at hand...
Obviously you probably don't want to go giving away your secret recipe, but if I buy this cam from you sometime this winter would you be willing to give the specs to my installer/tuner? I like the results you're getting from a small cam in the 220s.
Also, any guestimates on what kind of power I could see? I don't have longtubes, I have B&B shorties and offroad pipes. My P1SC has a 4.10 pulley.

BTW- I'm doing the same exact setup as yours ex. it's a M6 Vette right now.8lbs of boost,made 480rwhp before the Cam.Will have results by mid week.
