LSX Blower Cam recommendation
Any suggestions for a streetable cam for this motor in a 6000+lb Avalanche. Hoping to mount an Eaton TV 2300 blower on top of it. Will be going to an 80E trans. TC stall speed yet to be determined.
*edit: see post #4 for motor spec's
TIA

LPE GT2-3 207/220 .571/.578 118.5 or maybe even an LS7 (211/230). I mostly tune my own stuff, but I can't imagine getting the driveability of a big cam right on a blown tank like you have. I would stick with something small, but that is just me. Most of your power is going to come from the blower, not the cam anyways.
I had the GT2-3 in my Firehawk and it idled stock but pulled hard. I had a powerdyne on it too, and the low overlap made the blower shine. I have heard it is a popular cam with the truck guys too. Just get some good heads to take advantage of the lift.

The GT2-3 is a proven performer. I just think it would be a little small for the

No. I could use some more detailed info on this blower. Don't see a performance map posted for the R2300. http://www.eaton.com/EatonCom/Market...Maps/CT_139366
Then who knows if it will ever become available in a LS7 style configuration. Harrop says they just bumped their's back another 6 months. Might have to rethink the FI setup.

Yes, overlap (done right) makes more power period. YOU CANT "BLEED OFF" BOOST. Your trying to fill a cylinder, not pressurize your intake manifold to some arbitrary number. If your worried about losing torque.... if you make any boost whatsoever in the power curve...garunteed your making more torque than the most max torque you could possibly make NA anyway. Making 700 ft lbs at 3800 rpm with some overlap in the cam... plenty torquey enough for most

I have now come across a few "blower cams" with between 4* and 6* of overlap. Here's one from EPP: http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com/movies/sts1.mpg

What would big overlap do to the bottom end where the modified roots blowers normally shine?
