Keep this cam or put stock back in?
I'm considering going forced induction vs. adding headers, fast, and porting on my Z. I have the TSP LS7s cam. I believe the specs were 242/250 .648 .648 114+3. Car is 525rwhp on the last dyno session. Stock was around 445 so nice gains. With porting, fast and headers others are getting into the upper 500s. Drivability now is pretty good. Practically no surge. I'm thinking I want more power 600rwhp+. Should I swap this cam out for a different one or will it play with a supercharger nicely?
Thanks

It will make power with a blower. There are better grinds, but it won't hurt you to leave it in. That being said, if it's in the budget and you don't mind doing it, swap cams. Another option is to add a 100-150 shot of nitrous.

If you like how it drives/manners, use it. Just know that you can get just as much power with a milder, more blower specific cam. Your choice. Personally, I think one of the main attractions of f/I is the ability to make great power and keep near perfect manners. You can make the power you're after with the cam you have. Not my idea of a well mannered rig though.

Get Pat G or someone you trust to spec you a cam. Pat has about two pages of questions that help narrow it down to a cam that fits exactly what you're trying to do. A cam swap is a little expensive and a lot PITA. Do it once and do it right
