Default What size reverse split cam 2 run for SC and Stock motor?

I am getting a Powerdyne super charger for my 02 Trans Am, and was wondering what size reverse split cam I should run with it. I have the up graded valve tran already with LS6 heads. But I was told that my current cam is not good for supercharger use. Please list detailed specs, brands, and how much power it will likely to gain. I will noly be runing 4.5 PSI of boost with the stock bottom end.

if it's the one in your sig, your current cam will be fine. a rev split is normally a turbo cam. a sc likes a traditional split or single pattern cam. the 224 single pattern has proven itself to be one of the best all around cams available. save your money and use it.

I would love to use my current cam but I was told that it would'nt work with superchargers. I bought the current cam with forced induction in mind for the feauture but was told that it would'nt work with this supercharger. Does anybody else run a cam like mine with a supercharger set? My cam specs are 224/224 @ 114 LSA with 581/581 lift.

that is the cam of choice of Andy @ A&A corvette specialties (site sponsor). he is THE sc c5 guru. call him. he will tell you just how well it works. he has installed that cam in his personal engines and in MANY of the c5's that use his blower kit. his kit is the best in the business for c5's. many, many corvette guys run his sc kit and that cam.

If your seriously ussing the powerdyne I would run a small cam with a ton of LSA.The Powerdyne is limited by airflow so you want to keep as much pressure in as you can.

Probly something like 220/224 -.550 lift on a 118 duration.

That cam is fine, it's more about the increase in intake and exhaust duration to make power (generalization).

I would not do a Powerdyne unless you got it for free.

The powerdyne is only good for 5 lbs. You will want to make more power, trust me.
Go Vortech or ATI and leave room to grow with your setup.
