Default LS1 cam, boost, and head help!



Hey all, new to the forums and fairly new to the LS world.

as the title states looking for the "best bang for your buck" money isn't overly an issue I would rather the performance/reliability (safe) side of things. I have a vette LS(99) I'm in between working the heads on it over the off season, as well as a cam. I plan to refresh everything inside new bearings and rings, I also picked up because the price was amazing a LSA supercharger from the CTS-V. I've seen a lot on either porting etc my heads or the typical LS6 I'm just looking for advice on what route, what's a good size cam etc. Already have the idea for springs push rods etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated ! The toy it's in is a 1994 Nissan 240sx (hopefully I don't get too much negativity towards that!)

You will have to use adapters to run the LSA blower.

Like mentioned above you will need to run adapters to get the blower to match up to the cathedral port cylinder heads. As for a camshaft we offer a 224/236,.5xx/.6xx, 116LSA camshaft that works very well in applications like yours.

As probably the most abundantly swapped engine series in history, we don't care what its swapped into. There are probably hundreds if not close to a thousand LS swapped 240s that have passed across this site.
