222/232 Nice Blower Cam?
222/232 Nice Blower Cam? I'm doing some research for someone on a nice blower cam for his LS1 with about 10psi of boost or so.
Anyone know of a nice design out there that is WORKING for people already?

I like a 224/228 grind or a 224-226/230 grind also, for 10 PSI 226/230-232 would be my favorite.

I do agree, 2k is spent better on a forged bottom end, but it heads are gonna keep detonation down, your stock shortblock will live longer, assuming you don't up the boost. just my thoughts.
