Default Looking at getting a charger have cam question

New to FI and I am looking into getting a powerdyne 6lb kit. The kit is used and fairly cheap. My question is that I currently have a TR 224 224 563 563 112 cam installed. I am pretty sure most of you guys with Forced Induction go with a cam on a 114 or higher. Is my cam to much for the kit or can I get it to work fine with a safe tune. I really would not have to do another cam install uness I have to. I currently have the mods in the sig. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Do yourself a favor and don't get the Powerdyne kit. Many people have problems with it and end up going with the ATI or Vortech. I have a ATI kit for sale. PM me if you're interested.

How much do you want for your kit and why r u selling it. I may be able to get this used powerdyne kit for like 2K thats why I am thinking of getting it. If I was gonna spend big bucks I would wait until they come out with that new turbo set up with the turbo mounted where the battery is, and the kit is supposed to be only like $4,000 brand new. I currently have nitrous but may be falling to the FI side soon. Especially since I never spray it, and my car is a garage Queen and only see's like 2-3K a year of driving.

Don't buy the PowerDyne kit, you won't be satisfied with the performance and your cam is not very FI friendly.
