^right. it takes quite a while. Most will just fine a tune, copy and paste. Ive spent days with them before, and in the end could have spent way less time and seen the same gains or normally better with just a regular std cam.

not too get off topic... but that would be awesome! haha

I have never played with a car that had VVT, so it would be interesting as hell for me.

I’m not worried about the tuning, is there a better cam for my daily driver or is this close enough to make a 50 HP jump with minimal pain in the ***?

Going non vvt with the tsp stg2 high lift will get you 50 ponies at least. Made 62 on a 5.3l. Stg3 would get you a bit more but idk if it would lose any bottom end or not since i dont have a dyno comparo for it. The rect port heads would benefit quite a bit more from the high lift and feed that hungry 6.2.

Circling back to this, I haven’t installed this cam yet and I was wondering your thoughts on if this would work well with a supercharger. I can get a great deal on an Edlebrock supercharger kit through one of my distributors. Thoughts?

That cam should work great in a 6.2

Keep vvt if you can, with it dialed in it's better than non vvt.

Should work pretty good with the blower too.

You're going to need a really good tuner to put them together though. If you need to do a mail order tune get with richard, goes by Atomic here on performance trucks and here is his website

I’d agree, unless Blackbeard has specific experience with this combo, Ill be looking for someone else.
