Default Cam or procharger?
Would a cam and supporting mods be better than just adding a procharger and no supporting mods?

To dive in deeper. Cam, air induction, LT headers, 4.10 gears, and dyno tune.

OR

All stock ls3 with a procharger and tune?

I love the sound of a cam, then again a ProCharger sounds great as well.... You could always do a cam now and a blower later

Here's on we just finished with a cam and supporting parts

Click

Blower (Maggie) and cam....

Click

Im with Rick on this one. There's nothing like the sound of a cammed LSX. Plus, stepping up to 4.10s would really liven up that m6.

I am leaning to a cam set up for now....(cost less)

I just need to start looking and specking one out.
Need to start looking for parts, and pricing.

why isn't both on the list??? I would do a maggie tho looking at what livernois has done with them... prochargers are a bit laggy and when combined with that 4k+weight I would say get all the torque you can!
