Default G5X3 N/A now....blower later. Problems??

I was going to purchase this cam to cure my current HP bug. I have intentions of adding a blower later on. Is this cam going to be a problem with a blower on it??

if it's ground on 112 LSA, I think you'll find it has a good bit of overlap. I'd say there are better options for blower motors

Yes, you will want to pull that cam out for a blower. I just looked, I had those top secret specs written down somewhere but I can't find them. But yes, too big for blower.

I think the G5X3 specs around 234/242dur. 600/610 lift, but Please don't quote me on that (I'm pretty sure though).

You could always sell the G5X3 and almost pay for a new cam. There seems to be a market for used ones in good shape.

Sorry, in answer to your question, that is too much cam for a blower. The overlap would bleed boost.
