    Camshaft Question

    my cam now has these specs



    and im pretty sure im going to be goin with a Vortech. now my question is is this a decent Supercharger cam or should i pick up a new one for maximum power. I was looking at the E303 but im not too "up" on cam specs so its safer to get others opinions.

    any input is greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    Your existing cam should work as well or better than the E-303(has a 110 deg. lca). A professionally designed cam by someone like Ed Curtis will work very well & surely produce some gains. Don't waste your time contacting any of the major cam company tech lines. You can read the same recommendations in the catalogs. What a waste of time that was when I did it.

    What engine is this for?

    I think a trick flow stage 1 cam would work nice. It may be somthing to really research before you drop the money on one.

    I definitely agree with you on that one Mark. I called Comp's tech line and the idiot that answered was unable to listen to what I was asking. He went so far to left field. I was like whooooaaaa, who in the hell hired your a$$.

    With boost you need to get the correct lobe separation. Most people go with a split duration heavy on the exhaust side with boosted application. I have never built a superchaged motor so I know minimal here. Aint as easy as picking a cam for for an NA big block.
