Default Blower Cam for LT1

Ok thanks guys..the last thread convinced me....im going with the d1sc from procharger , of course . lol.... Now my goal is to reach 500 rwhp in the lt1...so here is what im thinking (and if you guys have any opinions comments, or see something wrong feel free to help me out) -

1. D1sc
2. All the free mods
3. Run through all the bolt ons. headers, udpulleys, blah blah blah
4. Moderate to heavy portnpolish job on my heads
5. Blower friendly cam
6. and of course forgot completely forged bottom end so i can run more boost safely, bigger injectors all that nice stuff.
7. Nice tune.

should be able to get there correct?


hopefully...now the next question is... what are some specs im looking for dealing with a blower friendly cam?..cause i know you want to hold vaccum right? so is it just the lsa im worried about? like nothing below a 114? any opinions are greatly welcomed!

could try a custom grind. Cam Motion will spec one for your setup.

Custom CompCams XE blower cams can be had fairly cheap. Be sure to get a high lift version.
