Default Best FI cam?

I was curious of any suggestions for a FI cam for a Procharger supercharger or STS turbo set up. Has to be streetable and easy to drive everyday.

If you have to ask, just get an '02+ zo6 cam. If you want a real answer, use the search function and do a lot of reading.

Do some research on other peoples setups. You have to decide what your goals are with the car and go from there. The bigger you go the more power you will make but driveability will suffer.

If you dont plan to go over 600rwhp I would suggest something in the dual pattern category. If you are talking a 346ci I would go with either one LPE's cams or just choose anything from a 220 to 226 cam with a LSA of 113 to 117..

what about if you want to make decent power off boost as well? like if you are doing a "PROGRESSIVE" install (meaning its gonna take a while) and you dont necessarily want to have a mild cam.

what i mean is if 220-226 witg 113-117 lsa is the first tier, whats the next level up? nothing crazy though...

or is 226 on thw big end for a 346ci that doesnt plan on running 7s in the 1/4?

wow, so a 226 will give you decent power NA, and be a really good turbo cam. that narrows it down alot...

i do have a question though...

would you opt for a smaller cam like a LPE GT2-3 (207/220 .571/.578 118.5 CL)

or would an LPE GT11 (215/231 .631/.644 118 CL) work just as good with a turbo, but give more performance NA?

the reason i ask is because i'm slowly but surely building my car up to accept a turbo kit, so i dont want to do something that will only run good on boost.
