Bigger cam for the ProCharged C6 The customer that owns the white C6 that we built last year can't leave it alone and had us stuff a pretty large cam in it and change the exhaust, because he wants it as loud as possible.
I didn't get a video after tuning, so the idle quality here isn't great, but when it was finished it idled pretty good. When we put it together, he said he just wanted it lumpy and didn't care how it idled or drove

Lol, people are dumb. Why would he ask to put that much cam in a boosted car, performance > sound
Other than that it's a sick ride though, you guys did a great job. The widebody kit is definitely something I'd want.

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.
