Cam choices compatible with future Forced Induction?
I'm pondering cam selections this morning.
I was wondering what kind of characteristics make a cam a good selection for a forced induction motor, and if one can choose a cam that will give a nice N/A horsepower bump, and remain a good cam for FI Applications. i.e, I'm assuming that a G5X-2 wouldn't be a great complement to an ATI..., but I'm wondering how big you can go (TR227/224?) without hurting your performance and drivability in the FI arena.
Any of ya'll have suggestions on a good N/A cam that is also good for an FI setup? If so, what characteristics make that cam good for FI? Lots of lift and not a lot of overlap? 114LSA's instead of 112?
Lastly, are there significant differences in how one would select a cam for a Magnusson vs ATI vs Twin turbos?
Hopefully this will be a fun topic :yesnod:

If for sure your going to do force induction I would put a LPE GT2-3 SBC 350-383 207/220 .573/.580 w 1.7 rockers 117.5 CL cost 430.00
Call LPE and tell them what you have and what your going to be adding.

I'd do a search on cam in the FI section. Lots of discussions and debate on this. And it will be quite different between the roots and centifugal and turbos. So go read! lots there! :cheers:

Force Induction likes split cams like nitrous. On a stock cube motor, I would go with something like ~218/~224//~570/~580//114.
