Bigger cam for the ProCharged C6
hell yeah thats sick! 
I've been asking that VERY SAME thing here for months. I can never get a definative answer. Knowing the the exact cam design used and the one it replaced, the blower and boost numbers, and the before and after tuning and dyno numbers would tell that story. But I guess that is just asking too much.
The way I understand it is "yes". Overlap (exhaust scavanging) cam designs do leak boost in blower and turbo setups. BUT, I was wondering if this would actually help with cylinder cooling, cylinder charging, and reducing detonation. Maybe reduce the amount of enrichening of the mixture too. If so, it might be worth having dispite the boost leak. I hate the idea of having to run my manifold wet with meth injectors and such. DEFINATELY sounds cool too.
From a performance standpoint, you would have to actually make more power (even with the leaking boost) than you are losing with the leaking boost and driving the blower to make it worth running the overlapped timing cam. Not to mention, you'de want to be running a lot of cubes to make up for the low end torque you'de be giving up in the tradeoff.
Nice Vette though. I'm sure the owner is stoked.
