I don't think you will like that cam one bit ... I would suggest you sell it and get you one bigger. (PM me if you wanna sell it)

i disagree; you can not overcam a blower setup. if you do you will not gain power and might even lose. best way it was described to me was "think of your blower as an intake restriction" or a limitation. The blower dictates how much air can be blown in independent of the cam. Thats the best way i can describe it

Idisagree to a point .... If you go to big of a cam, you will get overlap in the cam and will be wasting that boost. As long as there is no-minimal overlap, then I agree. That post was more in a joking maner ... notice .. I wanted him to sell it to me.

BTW ... I'm boosted too .. but .... shhhhhhhh

I agree that a blower will like a bigger cam, but I disagree that you can't overcam it. You can over cam any application. If you go with to big of a cam you can get some overlap in it. That will do nothing but let that boost run straight through, out the exhaust. The blower's really like the split cams too. I know mine just seems to climb and climb. I've heard of people with a 5.3 say the 216/220 will peak at about 6300, but mine still hasn't peaked at 6500 where I'm shifting it.
