Need to know a bit about your combo before suggesting something-even maybe the current cam?

A&A T-Trim, 9-10PSI, so far 629RWHP/536RWTQ. This was on low timing and a small amount of Meth. I am planning on re-tuning and leaning on it with the meth when air around here is better. The 629 was in 90* weather.

Its a known fact that a little stock 02+ Z06 cam makes for a great cent. supercharger cam (as does an 01 Z06/LS6). I'm making 614rwhp and over 520rwtq on my bone stock LS6 motor at 9 to 10lbs!

Mike,

The cam you have is more than good.

If you want to look at other options then stop by, I'll run the analysis software and show you the gains/pros/cons for all the cams.

But with no numbers available....who knows, maybe we could be buying a cam almost identical to what you already have !!!

I have no doubt their cam is good...but I personally would never buy a cam without having some sort of idea of its specs.

But as far as choice...there are probably dozens of profiles out there that will give very good results.
