Need input on a Supercharged car Cam?
I am about to pull the trigger on the G1 "blower" Cam I am just curious if any of you guys with the same, or similar set up as mine have swapped out the Cam, and what you Went with? I have been told this is the best Blower cam choice, but haven't seen any real world results from guys with my set up. I have a S-trim with 28/30 pulleys 9-10lbs of boost, and The Common bolt ons, Vararam, Headers, X-pipe and Exhaust. I am currently at about 600RWHP, and wondering what to expect. I have been told 50-60 RWHP with the cam, and Valve train upgrade. I am hoping for around 650RWHP Does this sound about right? Also I really like the Loppy cam sound, and MTI is suggesting a 115 LSA, and I don't think this will be loppy enough for my tastes, Will something a little tighter like a 114 or even 133LSA be ok, or is the 115 that important for optimal HP in a Supercharged car?? Any real world input Would be Greatly appreciated!!!

I have listened to your car before, It sounds good, you can tell there is a cam, but it just doesn't have enough! That's my hang up, I wonder how mush choppier a 114 or 113 really is than a 115?
With the amount of noise my blower makes, it will be hard to even tell there is a cam if it is that discrete. You can listen in my sig.

I have a 218/220 114 on my car, but I don't have a sound file. Not sure of the lift either. You can tell there is a cam in it and it is not an aggressive cam. Wingnut on here has a monster blower cam on his magnusson set up that is a custom grind from More Performance. It rocks the whole freakin car
