How to choose a forced induction cam and heads???
ive heard of the LG G5XB who has used it and does it make good power and work well with forced induction applications?
any other recommendations on cams let me know.
what kind of heads should i be looking into?
is the 90/90 setup good for boosted applications?

90-90 is a waste of money. Get some nice AFR or ETP heads. The cam question is like asking what color camaro looks best......you'll get 100 different answers. IMO......any decently set-up boosted car is gonna haul ***. Big cam, small cam, it doesn't matter. I chose to go big for the nasty idle and violent top end. I tried a smaller one and the car didn't feel the same.

reason i suggested the G5XB is cause my buddy has a procharged corvette and that thing is nasty LG wont release the specs of the cam though but it makes kick @$$ power.

Well one piece of advice from a rookie is definately decide on what type of FI you are going to do cause it does and can make a huge difference in the cam specs you would want to look at. I am usually the middle of the road cause I like to make lots of power, but drive it on the street so Stevieturbo are on the same page about that. If you are doing a drag only setup then there are other options available for some et gains, but you will probably sacrifice some drivability for sure, but everyones opinion of streetable is way different LOL!

i had that cam with my old magnacharger setup
the most i could get out of LG for specs was
they told me mid230's/591/114
it was a nice cam, I gained ~50rwhp from it
it had a decent little lope
