I asked CMotorsports and they replied:

"We have seen very good results from the 220/224 .564/.568 113+1 LSA cam.
It is moderate but it works great with boost and is not a monster to tune
for, nor does it kill daily driving.
The 224/228 is also very good, and will definitely thump more than the
first one.
I have seen this cam make 587 RWHP with a P1SC-2 and bolt-ons on a Z06.
Both are good choices and are not so radical that you cannot enjoy them on
a daily basis."

I asked him what would be best for my application, and I have a stall, so these might not work well w/o a stall.

I would say stay conservative. The blower is close to overspinning as it is, and if you start spinning it up to 6800, you're gonna run out of revs quick on the blower. If you put a smaller pulley on it or plan to, you're gonna be limited to what you can do there too.

SO Flyer no cam?? I do plan on smaller pulley eventually but not right out of the box. Are you saying just go with a smaller cam and nothing to much for now??

03GMC-I will probably end up getting a stall as well just not sure if its gonna be right now or in a month or so. I just want to get all the major stuff out of the way so it can be tuned right the first time and still be a good daily driver and have a bunch of power!!!!!!!!!

I say a small cam. 218/224 would be as big as I would go.

What about a ls6 or hot cam? I dont want to be spinning the crap out of the blower either, but wouldn't mind the extra power+idle from a cam

LS6 = 204/218 .555/.551 117.5
hotcam = 218/227 .525/.525

Yeah ive thought about both of those may add that to my thunder racing order of ASM's,magnaflow off-road X&bullet muffs. The LS6 cam is known for making some crazy stupid power with cam only f-bodys and there is also a truck on thunder running the "old man" cam making some #'s to the ground with headers,stall,and a good exhaust setup. I just might go and add this to the order. BTW Thunder is having a huge sale got all stuff for under 1,000 shipped.

I have an 02+ ls6 cam available if someone wants it. I just took it out for another cam. For boost, the ls6 has a little bit much of overlap.
