Best Forced Induction Cam...?

Hi,
my motor is a forged 347 ls6 with PnP 85mm TB, Patriot Stage 2 64cc heads, etc.
And now i'm just trying to pick out a cam.
So far this is the only one that has caught my eye.

You can also go with a 224/228 581/581 lift at 115LSA from comp cams that should make a good blower cam. Somtimes I have heard that the bigger blower cam isn't always better, I could be wrong though.

An 02-04 Z06 cam also makes for a pretty good blower cam.

Of coarse there is no real "best" FI cam. It all depends on your driving habits. You could go radical or conservative. I personally am rolling with an LPE GT2-3 cam and am pleased with it. Put down 500rwhp/490rwtq on EPP's dyno with only 6.5psi.

Its hard to say the best fi cam, i have done a lot of searching and there are so many choices. I would call up a sponsor and ask them, they will set it up for your needs.

I've tried a few custom grinds....I'm switching back to a BIG reverse split that Stenod/camotion speced for me. Big power, decent off boost scoot, and decent spool.

I'm sure it is titty-licious for a blower car. Not sure about a turbo car though :whoknows:

Cam selection should be driven by power goal and max rpm that you will spin the engine.

I dont plan on spinning it past 6800, dont think i'll need to with a 2500 lb car.
I'm shooting for 600+ rwhp on 91 octane.

I personally am getting comp to grind a 224-220-584-580-116.5 or 117! Should make decent power and be a good cam for turbo car!

Although often seen in charger applications wide LSA's are not always needed. Get in contact with someone that know what they are doing. For a True custom Grind the entire car's setup comes into play.
