Hi, i have a '95 LT with P-1SC and AFR 195 cc etc. Now there is a Comp 503-8, but i don't like it. A Comp 304-8 or 465-8 could be better, but is the 304-8 a computer compatible ? Lunati cam (215/218)has a 115 lsa ? Is this a king ?

Just curious, what don't you like about the 503? I've always liked mine, with and without blower.

If I were ever to change cams, I think I'd want more overlap and a tighter LSA.

I would be calling a cam company and having one ground for the blower and your setup.Why run an off the shelf grind when you have updated everything else??
Try Cam Motion or Advanced Induction just to name a few.

Erson has some of the nicest quality Billet rollers Ive seen
Dont know about their EFI grinds though.

Should be plenty of off the shelf cams out there dont see why youd need a custom one. Most the time they are overrated.

I need better idle and lower emissions and better driveability at 1000-2000 rpm (cruising speed). Here is difficult pass a smog test with comp 503. I think i need wider LSA .

All the more reason to have one ground for YOUR application.
