If you already have the cam installed no need to change it. Is it a "blower" cam? No, but it will work just fine. Friend has a similiar cam in a 402ci and has made close to 900rwhp with it.

I run a 226 234 113. This is in an A&A stock ls1 car I do not have any dyno numbers but this cam was a custom grind for my car to run with a blower. Seems to run strong to me

You'd be surprised what Cams work great with blowers that are not known as "blower Cams". I've tested Cams with as little as 108LSA that worked awesome. Some 220 cams that make more power than well known 230 Cams ect.

Where is Arun on this topic? I know he's played the Cam game.

Your cam is in the ballpark. Spend your money on some meth.

LOL-you now how I feel about the cams. FWIW-I think I made the most power with a 112 centerline-with the least amount of boost too!

Isn't it all about making the most power with the least amount of boost?

Hell, I've seen Turbo's spool up like crazy and make sick power on 108LSA's!

To the OP-that cam will work, just make sure you get a good spring to handle the lobe-learned some things this season on some "old school" lobes that nobody likes.

I was thinking about using lg's g5x2 or g5x3 on a 114lsa just for drivability with my p1sc, would that be ok? I'm looking to have some low end torque and not lose it all
