Blower cam question...
I want to add a supercharger in the near future. I'm curious as to if anyone here has had experience running TSP 228R cam with a blower? The cam specs are 228/228 .588 .588 on a 112. How well will this cam work with FI?

It's not always easy to find the perfect cam for a setup. You can get in the ballpark. Your cam is conservative but not a lot. You will find a lot more power with heads, TB, intake and headers IMO esp heads.

You can do a million different searches on cams over here. There are a ton of people running cams under the 230`s/.600 mark... FYI alot of those people are making gobbs of HP.. Just remember one simple fact. A good N/A cam will make lots of power with a blower behind it IMHO.... I am not a big fan of the 110/112LSA I like a 115 just for idle purposes and thats just my prefference...

When i was doing my procharger install, Arun recommended trying out my MS4. It worked out great.

We feel we have the best blower cams here. Not only do the cams drive very well, they dyno well and run well at the track too. Any questions at all just let us know..

Do you want a max power cam, a torque producing cam or what?
Think about what your goal is first and post that.

If your running just a stock bottom end and that cam is already there then I would just leave it. When your ready to forge it then I would swap the cam out for something designed for boost.
FWIW-we ran lots' of single pattern cams back in the Mustang days-even with the weak E7TE exhaust ports we still ran 9's with a little S-Trim.

I installed a A&A V2 Superchager Kit for a customer of mine and he had a 1999 C5 A4. The previous mods were TSP 220 Camshaft on a 114 LSA, Stage 1 LS6 Heads, Kooks Longtube Headers, Stock Trans and Stock Converter. The original dyno test was 380 rwhp. After the A&A kit, the C5 put down 573 rwhp and cut it off at 6000 rpm. If I would have ran it out to 6500 rpm, it should have made 600 rwhp.
