It will be interesting to see. Not knowing your raceweight makes it tough to predict and that cam is a curve ball too. What is the intake centerline of that cam?

3800 with me in the car, it's full weight. And no, no blower right now, that's out of budget for the time being.

I think chevy high performance did a article recently with a blower motor with a N/A and a wide LSA (120) blower cam. Actually the N/A cam did pretty good. Your scenario is the polar opposite.

Easy 550+ with the right N/A camshaft and supporting parts. With that 115 LSA cam I won't guess?

Oh boy. That is definitely a blower cam. That intake valve close is really late for an N/A car in your RPM range.

You could advance 4 more degrees to a 110 degree intake centerline and the valve events would look like this:
IVO is 6.0 ° BTDC
IVC is 46.0 ° ABDC
EVO is 60.0 ° BBDC
EVC is 0.0 ° ATDC

If you advance it, it will still not be an ideal N/A single plane cam, but it should run pretty good until you are ready to add the blower. If anything it will be a bit lazy hitting the converter but with a 4200 stall it should still get up and go.

Thank you. That's what I plan to do, just make it run as well as it can for the time being until the forced induction can be added. I don't want to be swapping cams around alot. Just having it run at all will be amazing, been two years.

Well depending on the 60ft I think you should go mid to high 11s - 3800 lbs is more weight than I would think? MPH from 116-119 ?

Once you add the blower that will add easy 100hp on blow thru (assuming you don't by the new style Roots Huffer) But would love somebody to try it!!

Then the car should go 10s pretty easy with traction.

Honestly guessed on the weight number and apparently over estimated. I weight 180 and people are saying the cars run 3100-3400 ish.

You may want to rethink a blower with that kind of compression.

His compression ratio isn't a problem with a centrifical blower, as long as he isn't looking to crank up the boost too high. 10 psi with the addition of methanol injection and he'd be making a lot of power. Bob

And that's exactly what I want, just a P1SC with meth. Not looking to break dyno records just have a 10 sec street car.

A 10 second car is fairly easy to do, my brother's '95 Formula has an internally stock engine with a P-1SC at 9 psi. LT1's don't make the power the LS engines do, and his car has squeaked into the 10's. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Brute-Spe...ed-Formula.htm Bob

I'll be right around that area for weight with mine.

That thing moves for what it is, I don't know where mine would be or the power it would make with the P-1SC on there but I was guessing mid to high 10's and that's fine with me. There aren't a lot of fast streets cars on the roads around here that show up to the track.

Even that seems heavy to me. Mine right at 3050# with me in it at the line. But I don't have some of the factory parts in place either tho. I don't have front bumper and brackets, inner fender wells, or hvac system.
Edit: and I weigh 230.
