With the addition of headers and cam, I picked up 120whp on pump gas. It could of been much more with meth.
I would go with the most aggressive off the shelf cam you can get if you end up going that route. The TSP cam package I bought included the AFM delete kit in the package. You also want the fuel lobe.

As far as I'm aware, the only way to get a blower cam is to get one custom spec'd. I haven't seen a blower cam that is off the shelf yet for a c7.

TSP doesn't release the specs of their cam.
I have this cam package though. I have the VVT3 with fuel lobe. It's a comp cam.

I was under the impression that the LT1 motor was different than the LSX motors in terms of running a cam with a blower. I didn't think it was necessary to distinguish between NA and blower cam on the LT1 and these off the shelf grinds at for instance Vengeance would work for both applications.

I know of a couple local shops who have custom ordered custom grinds from comp cams for some c7 builds though.

I'm a big fan of vengeance. I would talk to them about a cam, but I'm sure LMR or TSP can do a good job as well. I would think that you would get more power than what you want depending on how aggressive of a cam you would like. I went with the most aggressive off the shelf cam TSP offered and I'm very happy with it. Driveability is still very good especially with my blower.

We have 4-5 stocking VVT cams for the LT1 and of course we custom grind them for a lot of vendors and customers. We can help you with a custom spec or one of our specs.
Our VVT cams are ground by comp cams, but they are our specs. Designed over time using the engine dyno. We went through a lot of different lobes to design what we felts was the best for power under the curve as well as driveability.
For those guys with the new A8 transmission we have also designed our SV line to accommodate for the stock converter.
Give us a call, we can help out for sure.
