Default Forced induction cam

I have a 2000camaro ss with a p1sc 6lbs of boost longtube headers 255lph racetronix pump at 62lbs 38lbs injectors that came with procharger looking for cam and springs kit to give me better low and mid range hp gains without losing drive ability. Never take it to track but race around on back streets occasionally don't want to give up dependable because I'm paraplegic but want gains for low end when not under boost if possible any suggestions?

This would work well... the A&A Supercharger that BTR sells. 220/230 116+3.

When adding a cam to your combination you better factor in larger fuel injectors, as those 38lb injectors will most likely be maxed out. You don't want to pay for a tune and end up being on the dyno and find out the injectors are too small. Bob

Unfortunately procharger sent me the smallest injectors they could for the most money not happy with that but it is what it is and will add that to the list of things that I have to buy twice if it is unsuitable for the cam I am looking at which is the lunati 219/223 .625/.625 from what I see this has the torque increase I'm looking for low thru mid range

Your pump and injectors are both going to be maxed out very very soon.

If you plan on doing any upgrades, even raising boost with the stock cam, you need to upgrade both of those.

What is the LSA on that cam? Bob

This cam would be much better suited for what you are looking for. Bob

I've been doing some research and with everything considered it would be too much $ to get what I'm looking for.

You would definitely need at least a set of 60 lb/hr injectors like Bob mentioned, and at that point most 80 lb/hr injectors are the same cost as 60's.

I used to use this camshaft a lot on small centrifugal blower applications. The smaller the blower the less overlap the engine is going to want to make max power. Since the blower is limited on airflow as it is a smaller unit, you do not want to use a large amount of overlap as you will short circuit the intake charge out the exhaust valve during the overlap event. This means less airflow enters the cylinder which means less power output.

218/234 .603/.595 115+4 is what I would recommend.
