Check out our blower cam, it has proven itself over the years to be a great performer. Bob

Something with alot of overlap isn't gonna be boost friendly. That ms4 wouldn't b the best. Usually blower cams are in the 115-117 LSA range

Bob, how would that cam idle and drive in a daily driver car? It would be going in a forged LS6 with a maggie in a c5.

is it a fairly good daily driver cam? It doesn't seem too terribly big or way bigger than the LS6/Z06 cam that everyone bases the driveability off of.

thanks bob, I 'm still trying to figure out which cam I want to go with also. So easy to go too big, especially when you want to retain street manners and long trip driveability.

You're welcome. This CTS-V has this cam in it, he takes it on trips, etc. Bob

I'd go with Bobs cam fo sho! I drive my car around town and it drives great. As long as you get a good tune you shouldnt have anything to worry about.

I would keep it and get somebody very knowledgable to tune it. It should pull down high 20 MPG even with the blower and be reliable.

With a small blower you don't want a big cam-however the opposite can be true with a big blower.
