Hello all, im wanting to add a procharger in the near future, and wanted to know if my cam is to big? I have the 21st century cmc 600 cam 238/240 duration @ .050 .605/.609 112.0 Looking at the A&A kit.

If it makes more power N/A it will only make more when you get into boost.

Specs of motor ?

Many might say its a little big, a little tight on the LSA.

If you like it and dont want to spend more money/work etc....just run with it.

It'll still make a load of power.

It will all be in the tune really.

Just a cam only C5Z full exhaust with bolt ons

If it runs good N/A, it'll run that much better with boost.

I'm relatively local to you and am an A&A dealer. Let me know if you care to discuss further over the phone.

This is interesting, I thought regardless of mods or cam , a blower cam would be mandatory?

My cam is similar in my ls2 427 to his soecs
Should I assume it will run well bonting a blower up and not changing the cam, or is blower cam just an optimization for the build when it's apart.

"blower" cam is just a name, it really means very little as far as the numbers given there are so many other variables.

In much the same respect as one person saying their car has a blower, and another saying the same....except one is a basic 122 Maggie, and the other an F3 Procharger.

They're both blowers, but the end result will be a little different.

I'm personally sorry that I went to a 116lsa "blower cam" when I installed my SC. The sound alone would have been worth retaining my Crane .600-228/232@112.

There was just a thread started about good sounding FI cams . I'm the same, I would have to retain a rowdy sounding cam when I have a blower .

I know that with duration, you could be pushing air through the motor and not combustion because the cam specs are too far apart. That's why I assumed one would install a blower cam with a blower, turbo cam with a turbo, and a stroker cam with a stroker.

I guess with every company making 1000 diff cam combinations, it's just a matter of getting the right combo, but everything "SHOULD" work,

same here, highly recommended

Duration wont do that persay

Overlap may allow the opportunity for air/fuel to pass through the cylinder during overlap.

Or perhaps it could be seen as ensuring the cylinder is clean and only full of fresh air/fuel ready for combustion, other than a possibility of there being residual exhaust charge still there.

There will be a balance there somewhere, I really wouldnt worry too much about it if you're happy with how the cam is n/a

Thank you all for the help and input.

I'm currently running an LS3 with a 239/247 114 LSA .624/.624 lift that I was running previously N/A. N/A it made 482 RWHP 441 RWTQ and I was happy with the street manners. After installing an A&A 3VSi initially put down 593/551. Now after a couple of months and with some additional tuning and massaging, with this same cam and set up, the car dynoed at 663/588. Honestly, there maybe other issues that will impact your performance before the cam. A good tuner will know how to make it work.

Case in point, I'm having issues with fuel and MAF/crank signals.

I hate the term blower cam!

Definitely give Bret a call. He knows how to pick em.

Make sure you check piston to valve clearance at camshaft max valve lift!! ;-) ante that right Bret?!?

Well said
