is there a good cam for forced induction?

 

I want to know too.

But offtopic is yoru time your sig correct?

 

I am going to install a Lingenfelter GT2-3, has been a good F/I for many, not to radical-sleeper.

 

LT not LS there big guy...most run somewhere in the 14's

 

Turbocharger or supercharger?

 

Get a custom grind cam.

 

93Camaro and myself are running 14s because we are at 2700 ft in 90 degree weather . If we ran our cars in somewhere like California, i guarentee you we could get around a 13.3.

 

haha thats funny...my bolt on lt1 (similar mods as this guy) used to run 12's...then spun a rod bearing...lol

 

funny,all the ones i see have 14 sec slips.oh well.

 

Bolt on LT1 in the 12's?? I need to see one of those!!

 

Hey this is Chris, I think I talked to you out at Firebird? I have the blue twin turbo camaro.

 

ok not to get off topic but what cam is good for boost?

 

Try jax racing then.

 

...i've never heard of a choppy turbo'd motor, all of them always are idlieing very smooth, they usually have about 115 lsa's in them

 

So a turbo cam sounds like a stock one?

 

most of the time, thats why i goin turbo, instead of NA motor, want that sleeper sound!!

 

2700' elevation is not the reason that you are running 14's with bolt ons, I went 13.5 with bolt ons at the same track with the same weather, with stock 3.23 gears, and tuning. all I had was hooker lt headers, custom off road y and flowmaster cat back, k&N fipk, and a set of et streets, my best 60' was 2.05.
I went 13.7 with out the headers. with a 2.08 60'.

and if you were at sea level, you would loose, almost .5 seconds, putting you at mid to upper 13's, the trick is matching componants, and finding the things that are holding you back, it's not always the same for every car.

the two of you need to get ahold of me, and I guarentee we can get both of them into the 13's here. I will be out of town again this week for work, but I should be back Friday night.

 

Like I was telling you, you need to deside what you want the end results to be, with FI, you can run the stock cam and be in the 12's like I was with both the supercharger and the turbo, on lt1's the cams hold you back some, but so do the heads, so going with an extream cam won't gain you what you might expect with great heads. if you plan on running solid 12's then you can do it with the stock cam, with out a lot of boost, (I was on 4.5 psi on the blower, 6 psi with the turbo) but with my new set up, I should be 12's without boost, and 10's on 15 psi again with 3.23 gears.

Just decide what you want for the end results, fuel economy, et, Saterday night special.

 

That is correct. A forced induction cam has a wide lobe separation so you don't lose the boost that is being made. 115 LSA is ideal. Also the duration on the intake need to be larger than the exhaust so boost is not bled off. If you ever listen to the big pro stock blower race cars you will hear how smooth they sound but make gobs of power because they retain the boost in the engine. If in doubt call ECS East Coast Superchargers 609-752-0321
