Blower cam selection
Hi:
I bought a procharger supercharger stage II kit. It is going to be installed on a 00 vette. It has 1 3/4 LTs
3" pipes, magnaflow mufflers and a 160 thermostat. Besides custom tunning and TR6 spark plugs I would like to put a cam with springs and pushrods.
1)What cam do you guys suggest? (I was thinking using a 224-230 @.50 with a ls of 114)
2) what size of injectors you suggest? (I was thinking 60 #ers)
3) What fuel pump would you suggest?(I have no idea what to use) Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks
I forgot to mention is a M6 and has a LS6 intake,bored and polished stock Throttle body and modified mass air flow.

I have a cam that would suit your combo well, its only got 2K miles on it, if your interested send me a PM.
As far as the other stuff....
60#'ers will be just fine for injectors.
For fuel I would look into a full fuel system upgrade as then there will be nothing standing in your way of even more power. Contact Will over at RSI, he will hook you up with what ive found to be the best fuel system available for these cars.

We might be a bit bias but we feel we make the best blower cam. Its the most streetable, makes the best dyno numbers and holds the record for the fastest C5 and C6 LS2 corvette..

Which procharger do you have? P1SC or D1SC?
I ran MTI's R1 cam. It worked great on my stock LS6 engine. It was a 232/236 .575/.578 114.
I also ran 60lb injectors and the racetronix fuel pump and harness.
With my 1 7/8 ARH and 3" x-pipe and 5.5 psi boost, I made 595/508 at the wheels.

Which cam would you consider to be better than ours? Our cam idles very very well and has great street manors..
Our blower cam went 9.19 in a C5.. How fast did the cam you were speaking about go?.. Here is an idle clip from our cam...

No, its a hell of alot of fun!!!
Not to mention that in order to run 9.1 you don't just need a cam...
Im assuming that car went a little more like this: powerglide or very nasty auto of some sort, 4.10 gears, 28" slicks, lightweight drag brakes, AC removal, interior removal, air bag removal, sway bar removal, etc, etc, etc.....
Now how many "real" cars have gone that fast with "just" that cam? Saying a car went 9.1 with it isnt saying much when the rest of the car is a straight up purpose built drag car.
As I said earlier, there are alot of other factors, that cam is not for everyone.... And it is a very good cam for the record.

All I know is the following....
I took my car to the dyno in BG and on low boost and no meth I broke the 600rwhp mark on a stingy dyno. The owner of the shop had a car in there that had tested 6 or 7 cams in his car and couldnt make power. I gave him ECS' number and told them to order the blower cam. In the words of Emeril... BAM! 76RWHP
All I know is the cam drives awesome, makes power, gets good gas mileage, and the people who sold it to me have never refused to help me on any of my projects.

But even though we have our own line of blower friendly cams, we ALWAYS recommend to our customers to get the ECS blower cams if they are looking for maximum FI power and stock like idle and street manners.
Doug and Chris have many mid 9 second Vettes running their cams - and that's good enough for us.

And as far as real cars going fast with this cam, I was with one on sunday at the roadcourse - infact it's not all that different of a build than 4d's car (sans the trans), and yeah, he was fast, with over 700hp at the tire. He ran both Saturday and Sunday.
I might have some video if you'd like to see that too.
