Choppy FI cam?
Choppy FI cam? I'm just getting my car buttoned up and I'm going to go with a ProCharger D-1SC tuner kit after I get all of the bugs worked out of the car 1st. Could I go ahead and install a FI camshaft without the supercharger or should I run around with a used ASA cam until I get all of the parts together for the supercharger? Also, aren't most supercharger cams relatively smooth sounding? Does anyone know of a FI cam that's a little on the choppy side?
Yea I would go ahead and put the cam in there if you are going to do one!! Superchargers can have a really choppy cam, but ususally the turbo cars are not as choppy!! You might want to put up all your specs and your power goals so someone would be able to suggest a good cam that will sound like you want it to and make the power!!

You can definitely run some FI cams that have a "chop" at idle. It makes for a really mean sounding car when it idles past you with blower whistle AND a lope.
Rather than get above my head (my D-1SC equipped car has a stock internal motor), I'd suggest that you talk to Force Fed Performance (Yuva City, Cali) or MTI. There are, of course, other shops out there with experience matching cams to blowers, but I think either of those two would give you good advice.
I've already got a set of 6.0L heads that I haven't put on the car. Also, the headers are 1-7/8" long tube w/merge collector, Spintech mufflers and no cats. I plan on 60# injectors, front mount intercooler and new valves, springs and some work on the heads. It is a stock 2002 block with 4,800 miles on it with the T56. I already have the Walbro 255 in-line pump mounted inside the fuel cell.
Take a look at the STS Camaro SS that is in the project car section of my website. I have video clips of it idling, and the cam specs are in the article that I wrote up there. We have used this particular camshaft on many turbo and ProCharger equipped cars, and it works very well. Bob
