Hey guys, I have had this thread going for a couple of weeks on pt.net...
its getting so many different views, however I think the last few posts have been on the money and it was suggested that due to the fact that there are so many more Procharger guys here, to post it here as well for your qualified opinions. Here's a link to the thread, please post your replies here on this ls1tech.com thread if you don't mind...

I run a 224/230 .581/.588 on a 115 and its a nice came and it pulls hard on top.
I would have rather run a 220/224 since my car is a street car and spends most of its time on the lower rpms but I''m not complaining, this cam has just enough "chop" to it to let ya know what's going on.

I thought the GT2-3 would be more for a Radix type SC set-up though, one that has low-end power, unlike the ProCharger. However, after looking at the specs again...207/220 571/.578 w 1.7 rocker 118.5 CL...it is similar to the ATI's suggested splits in duration and lift. The LSA is significantly higher though.
Everyone, I am somewhat cam illiterate, so thank you for your patience and explanations...the real world experience that you share is much better than theories, for sure.
Also, do you guys feel the same about LS6 springs and hardened 7.4 pushrods being the only required upgrades...re-using the stock rockers?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks again guys for all of your replies.

Although for a smaller cc like the 5.3, a milder cam would probabky be the better choice.

With a blower on a small motor, you won't need a lot of intake duration, but you'll want the exhaust lobe to be appropriate to handle the amount of power made. That means a fairly large split. Also, with a blower, you'll want to limit your overlap to around 0 degrees at .050", but you don't want to go with too wide of LSA...the resulting early exhaust valve opening will bleed off too much cylinder pressure.
212/230 .580/.592 112LSA +2 (ground with Comp XFI/XE-R lobes)
Don't let the 112LSA fool you. This cam has only -3 degrees of overlap at .050" which will limit the bleed off of boost and the narrower LSA will also keep the large exhaust duration from opening too early.

I don't think that the lift split being the reverse of the duration split is desirable in my application...correct?

that's what you want, but that is a big split duration'd cam. Got a lot of lift. You traditionally want a 4 or 6 degree with split with emphasis on the exhaust cause the blower makes up for intake portion.

If you were pushing 500+rwhp NA, you wouldn't consider a 220 duration exhaust lobe would you? Then why wouldn't you run a 230 duration exhaust with a 500+rwhp blower? Big duration on the intake is not necessary when running a blower. Shorter intake duration helps keep overlap low. The large exhaust duration flows to the 500+rwhp potential.
