Default Blower Cams

I'm in the process of building a 383 stroker after blowing up my stock motor. I want to know what good blower cams are there. Nothing to radical but also streetable.

Also, anyone running LPE's GT2-3 (207/220 571/.578 w 1.7 rocker 118.5 CL)?

P.S. I'll be running 9# on an A & A vortech

I have that cam as well as LPE 6l heads. When I had the Vortech I made 560rwhp. Now with the maggie I make ~465 rwhp.

Get a radical cam. Just think of the fun - and the boost

I have no idea--LPE did all the work so I don't know about the cam install. I don't have any video clips, but it idles at 750rpm with a mild lope/shake. Not much more than stock but it does have more valvetrain noise than stock. This setup could be a daily driver with no problem

Futral F7 here...

Futral Cam "FM-F7-114" 224"/230" .588"/.595" 114LSA
(aggressive profile with a 1800-6800 RPM range, fair idle)

Running a cam kit that I bought from Futral that included Manley valve springs, pushrods, Ti retainers...

Love this cam.

SLP 5105

I am not crazy about SLP in general, but this cam worked out perfect for a FI setup...

218/222 .555/.569 115.5 LSA 4* advance built in... they stopped making this cam about a year and half ago so I don't know anywhere you can get it any more

it idles like a stock car but it defiently helped when the blower was added

I ran an LPE GT2-3 cam all last year. It definitely made more power than the previous setup and was extremely streetable. Honestly - you can't tell it isn't stock.

I'm on 224/230 on 115LSA, something like 0.580/590 lift.

Its working well for me....but ya always wonder if something a little bigger would have been better....or perhaps something smaller.

After trying 2 different cams on my P1SC the next cam is going to go right against the norm. If I want to pass emissions i think a 224/224 single pattern on a 114 would be good. My reasoning is I think the single pattern will give you more powerunder the curve as boost builds. This should make for a very fat torque curve. I don't think the splits are really worth on the centri setups.
