Default SC1 blower cam oppinions?

I allmost ordered this cam but thought I would get your oppinions first.

I have a stock motor other than forged diamond pistons, ARP head studs and rod bolts. Its an A4 car with the TCI 3500 stall, long tubes,ORY and the SDCE 8 rib set up. With the stock cam the car made a max of just over 13#.

What are your oppinions on the SC1 cam from speed Inc for my set up?

SC1-224/232. 581/595. 114

Thanks for the help guys!

It will sound bad *** and work awsome....... since you have rod bolts you wont really ahve to worry about spinning the motor higher.... and spinning the motor higher u can make more boost with the current pulley..... what do u shift at now???? with my 230236 i shift at 6600 rpm and it sounds awsome on a 114 lsa.

I havn't been able to run the car yet, we just got it together and were in the process of tuning it when a piston let go. It's been a mess so far, I was expecting 10# max with the SDCE set up and I am seeing just over 13#.

Just upgraded the fuel system to handle the extra boost and it let go on the last dyno pull, still managed 508rwhp. The forged lower end is in the works right now, I figured this was a good time to upgrage the cam.

Thanks for the info!

The cam has been ordered, I will post the results. It will be interesting
to see what difference the cam makes.

Also I noticed you had the Tial Bov, how did you like it.

Thanks for the help.

It chirped to much at cruise for my liking.......go with the Vortech "MONDO" Bypass valve. Its the same price and a monster.... it will flow more then u will ever need. You will love the sound also........
What all di u do to upgrade the fuel system??? list it for me so i can make sure you have everything you could possibly need.

The car now has dual Walbro in tank pumps and SVO 42# injectors.

Not sure of the blower drive pulley size, I believe the crank pulley is 7.250.

Im having Extreme Performance do the work locally, I hope to have the car back within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for the help!
