Forced induction cam,,,,,,
Forced induction cam,,,,,, I am currently running a 240/240 .608 @ 114 cam in my 427. This is a very streetable cam and makes decent power.
I have been thinking about going with a forced induction setup..
Would this cam work? How much would dropping to a smaller cam effect HP?
Thanks in advance for the imput.

A friend of mine used a cam similar to this in a 2800LB turbo Vette. It was a 406 / glide with a 3500 stall converter with trans brake. The turbine had a very large AR ratio and was suited for the cam with little back pressure on the exhaust. But keep in mind this was not a street car and had little power when not on boost. With an LSA of 114 you got 12 degs of overlap on 240 @ .050", big cams don’t like the exhaust back pressure of smaller AR ratios. If your looking for a good turbo street cam try a 232 / 224 with a 114 LSA or a 236 / 226 with a 115 LSA. You will have plenty of cylinder filling and minimal overlap which will give you good manners on the street while not on boost.

Fastbasser, I read your post again and I noticed you didn't mention turbo or supercharger. If you wanted to use a supercharger and not a turbo, your cam would be ok. Sorry for not noticing the first time...
Thanks for the reply. I am leaning toward a supercharger.
From what I can see, at over 600 plus rwhp, it really doesnt make much difference except in bragging rights!!
I am just looking for the next step w/o having to keep filling the bottle..
