How Important is a 'Supercharger' Cam? - Page 2

Ted - thanks for the feedback. Sounds a bit radical for my preference.

EDF - one won't hit 600 CHP with a smooth idle cam. :-) LT4-like performance would be acceptable for my purposes. Heck I've yet to master on the track what I had before the engine issue. But since I have a new shortblock, I will add a few tweaks with minimum compromise.

Work of art, eh?

Negative... This is a good friend of mine that does road course only.. If he can do it with and LS the LT1 will have no problem.. Your talking 30 hp with the LT over LS's with better fuel atomization and better heads. Car still going strong!

1516 springs would be a better fit with the steel valves. You can also set up a 1516 for .660 lift in an LT and still be .050 from coil bind with the correct parts.

EDF is correct. You can make 600CHP with a small smooth idle cam on a 416/427 LT. We have made 560RWHP with a 427 and a cam that had 0 lope.

Modern technology continues to amaze me.

Maybe we will give that a try on the next iteration.

This go around we will stick with Chevy's recipe.

Thanks!
