P1SC Cam ideas
P1SC Cam ideas 98 Z28 stock motor. Headers, magnaflow, 5psi Procharger kit. Runs great, but a little disspointed with the results. 407/406. I am considering a cam and pulley up to 6psi. I want more power, but it will be a while (couple years) before I build a motor, so I am looking for reliability and longevity. I did upgrade to patriot gold springs and hardened pushrods already.....
I am thinking of:
Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR Blower" - 214/230 .601/.579 117 LSA
or should I look for something less aggressive? I want something with good drivability and something not too lumpy of an idle....
I am pushing 5# right now, but I am going to pulley to 6-6.5 at the same time as the cam....I want 450+ rwhp.....

Why such low boost? You will get a lot more horsepower with 8 psi and with a good tune you should not have any problems. We typically see an increase of 140 rwhp with 8 psi of boost.
As far as camshafts go, if you want a small cam that has a smooth idle, the Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam has worked great for us. Bob

Bob,
I know I know. I am too much of a wimp on the stock motor. I originally did 5 when I got it from you, but have worked my way up to thinking 6.5. I don't think that I will lose that much with only 1.5 less, and I will feel better esp when I am beating on it in the stupid summer heat here in FL. You can yell at me later when I order another pulley aiming for 8.
They aren't that much!
I like the looks of that cam! I did not see that on your site. I will probably order this stuff in the next week or 2....as soon as I get through Turkey Rod Run down here in Daytona!
