Default Which camshaft you guys think?

Hey guys i have a 2003 Zo6,with Kooks headers,Corsa exhaust,Procharged @8.5psi,a boost-a-pump,Fast intake,Nick Williams 103mm tb,meth injection,all that and no cmshaft.So i am about to do a cam swap.I like the MS4,and i also like the Comp 285LR HR13.The car makes goobs of power and torque,right now as is.But i want a little more mid range and top end pull.Car has been dynoed at 647 hp.I want the camshaft to "HIT HARD" at idle,much like my BB blown 1957 Bel Air,that i just sold.(MISS IT VERY MUCH ),but my vette "THUNDERN",will make me feel a little better.If you guys have another grind that you think would work,please let me know,or if someone has one of these cams,please,tell me how u like it. Thanks guys !!

MS4 is not too boost friendly....

Everybody likes their own stick

Mine has had good results on a similar setup to yours it appears.

Comp Custom 227/235 .608/.621 116LSA

Cold start

Dyno


P1SC with twin intercoolers 3.85 pulley A&A Gen 2 bracket 9 psi ( 10 on cool nights)

Comp Custom 227/235 .608/.621 116LSA

stock 243 heads, Bellanger LT headers, XSP cat-back

606/531 9psi on a Dynocom that reads about 6% less than our local Dynojets

Been reading up on cams myself as I'm using a 2004 ZO6 cam. Anyway, looks like strong review of Arun's Jam Cam, might want to take a look into that.

Arun's Cam, ECS blower Cam dont know specs but who else had it liked it very much, A&A stage 2 Cam but i think they are XER lobes not good what brian tooley and arun said to me...anything like 218/228, 224/230 would do just great with LSA anywhere from 115-117.

With Centri SC kit, you never hit hard at low rpm, your 2003 Z06 is actually best for all around. You want to hit hard at low....get the Turbo or POS maggie twin screw.

I'm running a LS9 ZR1 supercharger cam. I haven't finished tuning the car so I can't throw dyno numbers at you, but it has a great sound to it.

I have a very slightly used Custom Ground Blower Cam (Comp Cams). Cam specs are 242/248 on a with a 116 LSA. .616 intake lift .652 on the exhaust. It has 13 degrees of overlap. The cam will work well on a stock displacement engine in a max effort type of situation. If you want to make Huge Power, this is your cam $295 Shipped. (It has Distinct Lopey Idle here it is at idle in my car with a 403 CID engine. Cam was speced with 1,000 WHP in mind.
