looking into cam swap
just wanting a bit of input on cam suggestions and maybe someone with a similar setup can chime in with their cam specs. Need to tune for the heads so I may as well put in a better suited cam for the turbo than the stock 99 f-body unit.
currently stock bottom end 5.7 LS1
as cast 317's
PAC dual springs .660 lift
Trunion upgrade
Comp pushrods
ARP studs
LS9 gaskets
not looking for huge numbers, I run the car on road course and street drive it, so just something with a decent chop and better flow.
been thinking about the comp blower cam 227/243
any input?
single Holset HX55

A solid 600-650 whp would be nice. As I stated before I use the car mostly for road course so I'm not looking for big straight line power.
I found this article where they used a stock bottom 5.3 and as cast 317 heads with the cam I mentioned above and made 691hp on 7lbs of boost
