Cam/Supercharger Question
Yeah,
I wanted that too! And like I said there is a guy running the GM hot cam with his ATI.
But I don't think it would be fun to tune and it would not be opimal for a Supercharger? I don't know what else to do except to just go with a heads and cam set up. But I want more than that so I am doing the heads cam and blower. I hope it works ok!

I mean i dont want anything over the edge but isnt there a blower cam out there that you would atleast be able to tell there is a aftermarket cam in there? basically just something with a nice rumble at idle.

Andy at A&A in Cali. uses a 224/224 for his S/C applications. I was surprised at this but one of his customers just put down 660+rwhp with this single pattern and a stock displacement forged motor. I would give him a call first since he does these set-ups all the time. He states he uses it all the time by choice. He himself stated that it goes against common wisdom but it works.
Talked with Allen over at FMS yesterday and I think I am sold on the 224/230/.587/.591 114. I think it is the FM-7. Waiting on sale of my cam.
Thanks for all the imput and advice guys! I'll let you know how this works out!

Question 1:will that cam put down good numbers N/A and pass emissions? If so i am sold.
Question 2: This question is about Heads. i am under the influence that a heads compression determins the power output and the heads cc rating determins the compression...correct me if i am wrong (example a 66cc head would put down more power then a 76cc head because the 66cc head has a higher compression) so my question is if i got AFR 76cc heads to drop the compression ratio to get ready for a S/C but didnt put the S/C on for a little would that N/A motor with a low compression ratio hurt performance and power alot...or no? cause i am thinking about getting AFR 76cc heads with that FMS cam (224/230/.587/.591 114) and have that installed and then start to save up for my S/C and the rest of the parts i need to complete the car. Will that N/A setup still put down good numbers? sorry about all the stupid questions
Thanks

Verdad Gallardo A 224/230//114 cam should dyno pretty well on motor.
A 224/224//114 wouldn't be a bad cam for a blower, is it the best, not according to cam folks but it's going in the right direction since it would not have a lot of overlap.

If you drop the CR for the supercharger you will lose some HP N/A but with the cam and the heads your car will still run good. I would think that with tunning it will run good enough for you to hold out for the S/C.
