Default Cam alright for boost?

I currently have a Lunati LUN-60511 camshaft, specs are Basic Operating RPM Range 2,000-6,600
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift 222
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift 228
Duration at 050 inch Lift 222 int./228 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration 272
Advertised Exhaust Duration 278
Advertised Duration 272 int./278 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.567 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.567 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.567 int./0.567 exh. lift
Lobe Separation (degrees) 113


I took that direct from summits webpage, but thats the cam I have already in my setup.

I am planning to use a procharger p1sc at around 12psi with this. I know there are better cams out there for boost, but I am very happy with the performance and sound of this camshaft n/a, hoping I can use it for boost also. expecially since I dont plan to go over 650whp.. well anyways tell me what you experts think and why.

Thanks in advance.

Fairly mild camshaft. You shouldn't have an issue running that with the Procharger. Go ahead and run it.

if you were going for a more aggressive camshaft for your p1sc setup, what would you go with personally, I am running stage 3 patriot heads with the .650" lift dual springs. so I can go with many choices. I just want it streetable, but still have a good lope sound to it at idle, while able to produce around 650whp at 12psi or a lil less. I dunno if its a tall order or not personally.. I hope not.

Personally I have a Futral F7 camshaft that I plan to run in the future with my P1SC-1. The specs on that if I remember correctly is 224/230 .588/.595 114+4. That style cam with ~8psi should being the car to 550rwhp. At 12psi I would expect I could be closer to 630rwhp... however I wouldn't run that much power without having a forged motor as 550 is already pushing it.

Right now I am installing my kit while using the stock camshaft to see what numbers I can put down. I expect 470-500rwhp.

I would use a 242/252 on a 114 straight up with a low .600 lift with your heads. 2" headers and dual 3" exh thru bullets. It'll be angry and you'll need a decent tuner to get it running right.

Psst.... street only. The powerband on that is going to be pretty high. For a race setup, yes. Street no. I would go with something along the lines of 232//236/58x/59x//116. The wider LSA will help with the duration overlap. It will also cut down on the lope.

I put 15K miles on a cam very similar to what I told him on the same cubes, heads, and exhaust that I mentioned. 900 RPM idle in drive. It was a kitten on the street and it was NA on spray. I'm pretty sure that they dont have to go thru any emissions BS over there either and they get like 100 oct out of the pump. It'll work very well.

I have a forged motor going in before I up the boost and really start putting things together. the block I will be building should be here anytime honestly. I plan to drop to 9.5:1 compression while im at it. just wanting a reliable and streetable 650whp.. (not chasing a number just thats about where I think my car will be just right least in my head and from riding in other cars like mine with simular numbers. once I get there.. whats the point in more if im not going to race it, besides just for fun here and there.

The cam you ordered will work fine for you.
