That's a loaded question. It depends on what you want and what supercharger and engine you have. If you want a peak#'s cam or a cam that has a broad power range and smooth idle. I chose the smooth idle cam with a 117° centerline and LSA 224/234 from A&A. Love it and still making great power. If it wasn't for the noisy blower, you'd never know I had anything but exhaust.

I am doing a forged bottom swap pretty soon and my ECS 346 blower cam is going back in my forged motor. That says a lot It's stealthy and deadly. Just what I like

When ECS installed their blower cam and meth in mine, I picked up about 100HP after the tune!

They get my vote!!!
Very small lope at idle, not very noticable, but you can tell. Still average greta MPG on HWY!!
Really comes alive after 3500-4000!

I (Personally) do NOT believe in purchasing a packaged cam (Unless its been custom setup my the shop that put your package together). NO Disrespect to my friends at ECS. They need to prove nothing..(Except that their 9 second cars could still run 9's on the west coast... )

List your mods, power adder, driving style, expectations, shifting style, and and near future upgrades. Include what TYPE of heads, springs, intake, etc..

With this info, then and ONLY then can one give you an honest, and accurate cam choice.

(That being said, an ECS blower cam just layed down some SERIOUS power out of a 100K mile A4 Kenne Bell. I mean DAMN......)I think she'll be the 1st 9sec KB in the US.
