Been Building on a Blower setup for about 2.5 years now and I am getting close to being finished. I have a 224/230 114LSA 4degrees advance .544 .555 lift with my Pro Mag Rockers, 918's, and Morel lifters.
I have yet to install the camshaft or any of the motor parts, and I am thinking about Swithing the cam setup.
This is what I am looking at as possible replacements
224/230 114 .605 intake .591 exhaust (XE 3192/3194 1.6 and 1.52 rockers)
224/230 114 .605 intake .598 exhaust (XE 3192/ Magnum 3111 1.6 rockers)
224/234 114 .605 intake .576 exhaust (XE 3192/ XE marine 3473 1.6 rockers)
224/236 114 .605 intake .624 exhaust (XE 3192/3196 1.6 rockers)
These cams utilize most of the High lift XE and magnum lobes, which are very aggresive for HR's and need really good valvetrain or lower rpm to be stable.

Thought that a blower car needed a split of about 8+ degrees till I seen some really fast blower cars using 222/228 camshafts, lol. And Some say Wide LSA is not needed for a blower setup, but I just want the camshaft to sound tame at idle, with good vaccum, and even with a wide LSA she'll run hard .


Comp has my Rockers and 918's right now since I sent them back to refund my 918's for some PAC 1518's (.650 lift Beehive spring that is the ****), and I am going to setup the rockers toward the cam of my choice.
A little valuable info for the car,
VRE 383 Forged shortblock, LE3 AFR 216 runner heads, LE Edelbrock LT4 intake, Monoblade, D1SC procharger maxed out with a FMIC, reving to 6200 RPM, with a 4L80E and most likely a 3.23-3.42 gear ratio in the rearend and the Car will be a daily driver.

 

From what I've seen the standard conventions of blower cams are not the way to go.

i have one of brets blower cams in my car you can see the numbers in the sig

 

No kidding, was pretty sure that you had sent me the wrong cam

About the "224/230 114LSA 4degrees advance .544 .555 lift with my Pro Mag Rockers" VS the "high lift" cam you refer to, if its really a daily driver i should go for a cam that isnt so hard on the valvetrain, no need to chase the last HPs, you aint gonna be able to use them anyway..

"street crayons"

 

I ran a GTP4 with my s-trim and it worked well.

 

talked it over with one of my buddies tonight if all else fails we can throw some 1.5 rockers on it.

 

the majority of those cams seem to be more/less suited for nitrous, they have a lot of overlap for a boosted application. Also where at in AR are you? I'm in Cabot, about 15 miles NE of Little Rock

 

Looking at all those numbers makes me dizzy. They are all so close that I think you are really splitting hairs. I also advise you to re-think how you are going about this. My advice - pay someone an extra $100-150 for a custom specced cam to exactly suit your needs or get a proven off the shelf grind. Reading stuff on the 'net will not make you a cam expert. Knowledge gained there may or may not be valid, but even if it's valid, without experience it's like trying to stand on only one leg.
