How much to expect from a cam swap?
Im currently running stock cam, and with 8psi I put down 485whp through a stock clutch(committed suicide on 3rd dyno pull). How much can I expect to gain from swapping to a Z06 cam or something bigger? Will the difference between the Z06 and like the EPP blower cam be nominal in terms of numbers?

Let us know how it performs for you. We've had N/A cars pick up 60 rwhp with our cam, who can't yet afford to go forced induction, but are planning on doing so. Bob

That cam has a 50 degree intake valve closing event. In a naturally aspirated engine this would be a pretty high rpm cam, most good N/A cams for a 346 run between 39-48 degree IVC. This 50 degree IVC will have poor low end torque, which is what you want for a turbo. Great supercharger cam as superchargers have different airflow requirements with rpm. If you plan on running a 7000 rpm setup this may be a good cam but most guys with a 346 engine are running 22x/23x duration cams with a much lower intake centerline. 114 ICL seems pretty late, try something around 104-110 ICL would be much better for low end torque.
