Cam for LM Speed Magnacharger? Would either the Z06 or the GT2-3 be a good cam for the magnacharger? (On a built 347 of course)
I know these two cams have been proven on a Procharger, just curious if they would perform just as well with a roots style as they do on a centrifical.
If not what wold be a good cam for this blower setup?

I have the 21stCentury Muscle Cars (Lingenfelter) blower cam. The cams you mention try to build cylinder pressure ( dynamic compression ) without a blower. The " blower " cams are smaller and will lower dynamic compression so that you can keep a fairly aggressive tune, supercharge it and not have issues with detonation. The down side to the blower cam is that they sound stock and I love the choppy idle. You will more than make up for that when your supercharger kicks in. For reference, on a 105degree day, my maggie charged car with a 3.1 pulley and headers made 486rwhp. On a 65degree day, it made 519rwhp. Hope this helps.

I also want to add that the centrifugal blowers don't build as much low end boost therefore cylinder pressure as far as I know. The Magnachargers will build boost almost instantly, so the cam choice IMO should be different. I would consult 21stCentury Muscle Cars @ 972-417-7177 or ECS. ( I hope it's alright to make references to vendors here) They will help you make the best cam choice.
