Talking I think my cam is boost friendly

I took the truck out for a short drive tonight. Trying to get those break in miles on the converter over with. Was cruising on the interstate around 70mph and rolled into the throttle a little, not enough to come out of O/D. I checked the boost guage and it hit 7psi at around 2500 rpm's. I was afraid this cam might bleed off some boost, but it looks like it may be just fine

70mph at 2500rpms. Sounds like 4.10s. 7psi at that low rpm is impressive with that size engine. What do you see at peak boost?

Yep, 4.10's
The cam is a comp 224/230 581/592 114lsa
Not sure what peak boost is. Still breakin her in. Got to run it 150 miles on the new verter then I'll get in it a little. I dont want to push it too hard until its tuned.

Thanks.

Your next dyno will be interesting. Curiuos to see what it looks like. The 224 would probably hold power to 6400 n/a, but I'm wondering how the blower will affect that.

Good luck
