Default Blower cams?

I'm going to be buying a blower cam soon n I would like to see what's out there on the market. I know the eep/ brute speed cam is a proven peice, and I'm leaning towards it. but I'm just trying to see what some others have used n how they liked it. thanks

I was using one of Comps LSR centri blower cams in my car with the D1. It worked really well not sure if it would clear the pistons on a stock motor.

However Mean94Lt1 over in the easter section is a stock short block 317 heads and Epp blower cam and he made 592 on 10 psi and no Meth. I coached him through making the right choices on the build the it turned out well.

Check out the specs of my Speed Inc SC3 cam (in sig vvvv)

I am happy with it, nothing to crazy on lift, has a nice lope if you tune set the idle alittle lower then stock, was easy to tune.

I know another guy running the almost identical cam that is putting down some really stout #'s.

I couldn't be happier with my LG blower cam in my sig. Its real similar to Bobs blower cam. You can't loose with either one.

my last dyno session I put down 573/498 w/ alot of belt slip.

I'll try to find a video of the idle, i think my blower drowns it out though.

I used the Comp SC3 cam from Speed Inc in my maggied car, same specs as above, car idled like stock and tuned easily. It helped with the 545/550 numbers I got with a Vengeance SD tune and the car was my dd for over 2 years.

I really like the specs on the Futral F7 camshaft and have seen some impressive results with it as well. (224/230 588/595 114+4) I purchased one that I still have laying around here, been lazy.

Very close to my PG/EPS cam. Slight lope, good vacuum, pulls like crazy up top.

big dur. split, idle tuning will start to get more difficult the bigger the split
that way you keep the lsa bigger
