Default Cam question for FI

I have an 05 C6 6spd Z51. I plan on supercharging next year with a F1A. I would like to get a good cam now that will give me a deccent power increase that will work with the supercharger later. Any suggestions from those that have done it. I would like to have proven suggestions please. Thanks for your time.

VERY nice to see someone start with the right headunit... Call Taylor at www.dallasperformance.com he has SEVERAL F.I. specific cam options to choose from... My current ECS "blower" cam has been great, but I need a little more lift for my current setup change. I have one of Taylor's cams waiting on my build to go together this winter...

Our G5x1 has shown upwards of 60 rwhp on blower cars. Its a medium sized cam that will work really well NA Plus I already have your baseline numbers

Whats up Mike? Just give me a shout when you are ready and we will spec out a custom cam to fit EXACTLY what you want to do with the car. I have a FEW blower grinds in stock but I would always prefer to cut a custom cam when time permits.

With that said, Louis' X1 isn't a bad choice either.

I have a Comp cam installed and its just right, not to radical but you can tell its there. See signature for details. The tune you get is very important, so check into it first. Unless your good with a wrench I would not attempt to install a SC system yourself.

Your going to love a SC system on you C6 mine is just nuts to drive and a handfull to keep on the road.
