Do you have a stall and how big i would guess yes seeing you have a prochager since they suck without one.

Your going tp have to get up close to or past 220@.050 to get much sound with that wide center. What are the specs on the cam you have now?

with FI you kind of have to have a trade off if you will...for best results you need a wide, or wider LSA than if you ran it N/A so your probably not gonna have that choppy idle

not a good idea...you will be bleeding boost out the exhaust seeing the intake and exhaust valves are gonna be open at the same time longer than if you had a cam like you have now with a 115 LSA...it will still work but not very well, it will be very peaky...

I dont think its worth running a tight LSA just for sound...

I disagree with you. Check out this cam from EPP lots of lope and a "blower cam" that makes great power http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=679 click the you tube link in the description for a idle vid . You can make tons of power with tight lsa and lots of overlap with a centri blower. If this were a turbo no it would not be ideal at all.


This TBSS I help build and picked the cam is stock heads and bottom end with 112lsa and 11 degrees of overlap cam and is the fastest AWD TBSS @ 11.52 AT 120MPH on 10psi with a D1SC and has a great lope.

the original poster said he was ditching his blower for a turbo or nitrous set up...I was trying to help his cam choice for a turbo set-up...his current cam might be just fine for a turbo app...
