Just got off the phone with thunder and they recommended their blower cam. Similar to the CheatR just has a diff. exhaust lobe to minimize overlap. Too bad the kits are so expensive.
Any one try it?

Contrary to popular belief, you can run a fairly large cam with boost.
Your not going to "blow it out the tailpipe" especailly when your talking a few degrees at 0.050" Besides, getting rid of the exhaust residual is not bad!

You'd be surprised....
Some blowers won't have a problem because you can continue to pulley down for boost. Take a 5.3 engine for instance... but on a 6 liter... you run out at the 2.75 pulley on the radix unless you go with a custom crank pulley. Several of us have been throught this with REAL experience.
With a bigger blower you can run any damn cam you want... lol

I want to be able to get/keep as much boost as possible. I was getting heat soak on the dyno and thought with Lts, cam, methonal, efans i could get the power i wanted. sounds like i will have to up the boost even still and then battle with IATs again. Guess I will hit the wall with power.

You're exactly right. The problem with a big cam in this situation is the blower being too small for a big cam. The 112 just can't move enough air efficiently without creating too much heat when running a bigger cam.
