Looks like I am getting closer to getting my car up and running. Had to find a way to keep up with all these supercharged vettes running around town. Any way, Does any body want to quess what the final numbers might be? I say mybe 14 or 15 pounds of boost!

A & A forged short block 8.8 to 1 comp.
AFR 205 Heads!
Small Blower cam (224 x 228)
ECS fuel system with motron 60 lb inj!
HP TT kit with 57mm turbos
99 FRC 6spd
JAXX
I am going to guess 45RWHP, with that cam you are going to blow your boost out the exhaust
Why would you pick a blower cam for a turbo setup? A good turbo cam will have a much different profile than a blower cam.

I bought my short block from A & A and Andy recommended that cam. I say Blower cam in a general sense. This is not a good turbo grind? 224 x 228 .585ish lift (about) 115lsa

Why would it be such a diferent profile? Blower or turbo the air is being forced in. Just did a search on turbo cams and it looks like there are alot of variables in picking the right cam. Even some of the guys on here that know alot seem to be unsure about it.

I was told on the turbo you want some back pressure to help spool the turbos on the SC you want the exhaust gases out ASAP so you want the 228/236 type of range.
mightymouse on ls1tech made a little over 900 with a single turbo on a 364 iron block with a 6 speed. in his heavy weight firebird, it went almost 150 mph in the 1/4 on 27 inch hoosiers.
talked to him today and hes got a ls2 in it now and said it will probably make 1000 at the wheels on race gas.
