Default blower friendly cam, is there such a thing?

Looking forward to S2 heads and finally a blower, after my cam swap. Is there a cam that is blower friendly or would any work fine?

something like a 220/228 on a 115 or 116 lsa would be good... keep the lsa over 114 for less overlap...

I'd do about the same. Keep the split about 5 degrees or a tad higher and an LSA at 115 and up. That should work well. Just do your homework and speak to the sponsors. They'll guide you properly.

Saw the 02 Z06 cam do wonders over another aftermarket cam in a Procharger Z28. Gained something like 35 RWHP.

I'd go for a traditional split cam with 114-116 LSA.

I am running a 6 degree split...

230/237/115 +2 but I plan to spin it to 7000.

I'd look at a 224/230//114 cam.

Another thing you can do is inrease the size of the exhaust valve to 1.6 and it will open the door to the number of off-the-shelf cams that are available to you. Good luck.
