Think it out a little bit....

230/230//111 vs 230/230/114... (hugely generalized since cams will vary even between two different cams with the same duration)

Do you honestly expect the second cam will make a ton more power up top, and that the car with the 114 will best the 111 car? That's too big of a generalization.

I think the 114 car will have a higher peak, maybe 20rwhp (generalization), but the 111 car could be faster simply because the 114 car might have to spin a little higher to run the same.

best power band + best power under the curve + best shift recovery = fastest car.

i personally was reading this thread but got tired of reading the whole thing, here is what i have to offer.....

a pretty common built 408 iron block AFR 225's , built by LME... and running a procharger D kit, nasty fuel setup. i am running the regular 4" pulley with i believe a 7 3/4 crank pulley. through moser 9" trutrac w/ 3.70's

Now im finally taking it back to synergy motorsports this monday for all out WOT runs. I will be sure to post my numbers.

the cam specs are 244/253 .6xx 115 lsa

Should make nice numbers on low boost since you have a big pump (engine).

Well, supercharger cams aren't at all comparable to turbo cams, but it will be interesting to see your results.
