Didn't have to do much convincing - the price kind of does that for you. 
Hell, I've not even seen them yet - I might hate them, but I do like the price, the weight, and the center cap.... and the extra several grand in my pocket versus the wheels I really wanted.

The Toyo R888's are awesome compared to the others. Cut .6 tenths off my time and that was with a passenger in there. I am using stock rims and 285/35/20's in the back and they are hooking pretty solid.

What Cam package (and from which vendor) is recommended with the ECS blower? I have an A&A S/C installation ongoing now (with 1 7/8 ARH Long Tubes)....dont intend to do meth but am interested in Cam if there is a good solution on the market.

Scott, there's no specific on-size-fits-all. Depending on which vendor you're closest to, you'll need to discuss the individual wants/needs with them.
I know what you mean (well, I think I do) - you're looking for 'the' recommended blower cam. Truth is, with the C7, there's no such thing yet.
Who is doing your A&A install? Cam installs are far more complex, and require a very good shop to do them properly, as most will attest to here.

There are still a limited number of shops doing good cam installs. Oters are having oil pressure issues, etc.
I know very little about west coast shops, but perhaps you could give Andy a quick call or send him a PM and ask for his opinion. I'm sure he knows of some good ones out there.
I'm only familiar with the midwest and southeast shops.

I went with LMR for blower and will go with them most likely for h/c. Vengeance I heard does good work too. Other than that I have no info on others.

Getting the final touches on the build going. Guess I should say next steps:
Adding H/C
Harness for seatbelt
Theta has me thinking of a 416 stroker now.
Send off to happen in August

Im running the same tire/wheels and can't get them to hook. What pressures are you running? Have you found a better rpm to launch at then with the launch control?

28 psi is the sweet spot for me. Launch at 1500rpms only. If they are not hot they will not hook with any power over stock.
