Cam advice - ProCharged L76

Anyone have a wide or super wide LSA on a ProCharged car?

Obviously looking for NO lope, stick with stock converter and ton of mid range power which my stock cam provides... I just need to get rid of the DOD stuff.

Car is a G8, P1SC, 9psi, LTs, cutouts, stock heads, ported intake, stock converter, and 560rwhp right now. Only looking for 40hp, great street manners.

I have to figure out how much intake and exhaust duration I really need, then that'll dictate where my LSA is at.

If I stay mild with a 219/231 ... I can get away with a 117 LSA (-9 overlap). For a really mild build, that might be sufficient.

On the flip side, I could do a 228/240, but would need a 121 LSA (-8 overlap).

Thanks

Second question,

How much lift do I need before I have PTVC?

I'm looking at a .60x/61x lift but heard I could go to to .65x/66x lift but I have never heard of lift like that on a L92 heads

Dude, any cam the sizes you are looking at will need a convertor, tuning, and have considerable lope no matter what LSA. If you really don't want any lope then you should stick with the stock cam. The biggest I would recommend is something along the size of the Lingenfelter GT2-3 which is a great cam for supercharger, but even that will have a little lope to it. The good news it won't need any tuning and will work with stock convertor. Good luck.

And the flow rates really compliment the extra cubes come to find out. Plus for a 115lsa its pretty nasty sounding. Its being shipped to Fraser @ AES.
