I'm going throught a blower build myself.
I knew someone that had an hotcammed LT4 down in Dallas, it worked but it just wasn't optimal. Too much overlap, but it worked.
Just be careful how much boost you run, high compression and cast pistons are not what you really want in a blower motor.
I decided to bite the bullet and go with fully forged bottom end.

Chunky refers to the overlap. You know "kachunk-kachunk-kachunk"
.
I kind of thought it would be iffy. The extra compression in the LT4 plus the cam. I don't want to bother messing with the bottom end on an engine with such low miles. I may look at getting the heads and intake ported instead of going for the power adder, or maybe it's time to make the move to a C6. Thks for the responses.

if you do a search on youtube for my lt4 vortech ysi vette, you can hear what it sounds like to some degree. I believe the cam in my car is a hot cam (the prior owner installed it so I can't confirm. I have lt4 heads on my car similar to yours.
