Camshaft for Magnacharger 2003 Z06
Full exhaust
Magnacharger
Im looking to do a valvetrain/camshaft upgrade (springs, retainers, rockers, cam, etc)
Was wondering if someone could give me suggestions on cam specs. I've read that 243 heads dont perform much above .575 lift so I think this is a good range to shoot for. Or will that change because i have boost? Any support would be apprectiated.

We have a 224/228 .581/.588 114 LSA cam that has done well with superchargers. I feel the main thing with magnachargers is to try and spread out the power band as much as possible. They make lots of low end but kind of give up a little on top. That cam will have a very broad powerband with a solid pull up top. We offer our cam package with dual springs, retainers, seat, seals and push rods for $739.99.
Use the GM factory LS9 ZR1 camshaft. Lingenfelter used something really similar for a long time in their Mangacharged packages, but now you can get pretty much the same cam from GM for like $130. It's a 211/230 .558/.552 122 LSA cam and is designed to work with positive displacement blowers.

Also where the overlap occurs in the cam makes a difference.
Cam I've used on 346 maggie setup with great success and like is:
224/230 .581/.590 112+2 LSA
