Would not be my pick but it will work and you could do much worse!

I'd be glad to help you spec one to meet your goals/build and have a custom cam cut for you. Give us a call if we can help...

Probably not ideal, and cams are not expensive enough to go bargain shopping for IMO. Get a custom grind that will work best for your setup.

with custom cams @ $400-450 and way more efficient with better tq curves, etc. I have my old cam like the one you mention and I went with a different one. you will be way happier....

There are several cams out there that designed for SC'd motors. We have designed several blower cams. Shoot me a pm with your complete setup and I can give you a few ideas.

I agree with everyone else, I wouldn't suggest this cam for forced induction. It can be used, and it would probably make decent power, but with the P-1SC you would have to spin the blower a lot harder to make up for the overlap, which then creates additional heat.

Our blower cam would do much better with our combination, it is shown here. http://www.exoticperformanceplus.com....html?item=679

I went with the ECS blower cam and I'm happy, although I would like to know the specs just for piece of mind. When I was looking for a blower cam I looked hard at the Thunder Racing Blower Cam.

Thanks for all of your advice guys!!

I ended up going with a NEW Comp Cams SC3 Blower Street grind.

SC3 = 226/234 .598/.599 117LSA

I also got a great deal on some Harland Sharp 1.7 roller rockers!

Does anyone know where I can get a deal on some valve springs and hardened pushrods??
