Default Cam selection

I have a 408 trailblazer with a Maggie. It has stock heads(862's) and a 244/244 610/610 on 113 lsa. I bought it this way. Made 567/567 on 8lbs of boost. Looking for suggestions for an off the self camshaft. I've already purchase new heads. The motor right now sits at 9.5: 1 compression. Thank you, Jim.

Why are you stuck on an off the shelf? Get a custom cam made for yourself. Same price. Maybe a few more days worth of wait. Get ahold of martin at tick performance. He specd my cam and I had it in like 4 or 5 days

Not stuck. Just a time crunch is all. Did not know of anyone had good luck with an off the shelf someone might have in stock right away.

Wow that is a lot of cam for that blower, here is our much smaller cam on a stock LQ4 6l pullied down to make 627rwhp on pump and meth.

We have one on the shelf too.
