Shopping for a cam..... Help me make up my mind
I知 getting a D-1SC at the end of this year. Anyways I wanted to get a Cam for now to give me more power than what I have now and will work well when I install the SC. I did a lot of searching and I found few cams I like and I think they are good with a SC'd 346 car. I知 going to list few cams.... please help me decide on which cam to get.
The cams are:
1- TR 224/227 .563/.569 114 LSA
2- Comp cams 218/224 .527/.534 114 LSA
3- Cartek 218/222 .562/.562 113 LSA
4- Cartek 222/226 .567/.567 113 LSA
5- LPE GT1 218/229 .560/.560 113 LSA
6- Futral FM6 226/230 .576/.580 114LSA
7- Futral FM7 224/230 .587/.593 114LSA
So can you please guys help me decide. I知 getting the cam tomorrow or Monday at the latest. So I really need help choosing one of them. I want the most power N/A for now and later when boosted. BY THE WAY, if u have any other cams in your mind feel free to mention it.
Thank you.

PSJ went with one of Futrals cams for his project Blowzilla I believe its called. FMS has some badass grinds. I would call Allan and ask him personally what he suggests.
All in all, its a matter of personal taste. When I was doing my last cam swap I called 14 different sponsors and got 14 different cam selections. Go with what sounds best to you

Try asking in the forced induction section you will get an few responses I'm sure. I like the GT2-3 LPE my self but then again I do not have a SC on this car (YET).

I am planning along the same lines as you (should I have the funds to get the ATI I've been dreaming of). I looked around and it was really confusing, there were about a million different opinions from what I found.
I ended up calling www.cmotorsports.com (since I was thinking about one of their transmissions anyway, mine is slipping now ). The guy I spoke with really knew his cam stuff. He laughed at all of the "blower" cams going around and told me that, yes, a blower cam is a different kind of cam, but be sure to pick one based on your goals, not the goals of the person that designed the cam. I liked that explaination.
I was also thinking about a Futral cam, but I have not talked with them yet. I'll probably be giving them a call too.

another thing that would help us is if you told us how much boost you were planning on running.
