Magnacharged LQ4 - need to pick a cam!
I have a '79 Olds Delta 88 running a modified LQ4 - bored .030 over, Lunati Voodoo cam, polished and internally balanced stock rotating assembly, ported/polished 317 heads, Corvette serpentine system (with A/C, natch) and forged 10.1 compression pistons. Making 315 rwhp (guessing about 425 at the crank) through a 4L80E and a Ford 9-inch with a locker. Need MOAR POWER.
Since it is a heavy car and my daily driver I'm planning on rice-proofing it by installing a Magnuson TVS2300 blower. Current cam specs are: Duration - 270/274,
Duration @ .050 - 219/223, Lift - .625/.625, LSA/ICL - 112/108.
Any suggestions on a blower cam? My current Lunati is great, but I'm interested in anything of quality.

I would reach out to Cam Motion, TSP, Hawks, Mamo Motorsports, etc and have them dial you in a custom cam for you exact goals.

Better heads and cam (243 heads) or mill your current heads for better compression will push you over 400whp.
Or yeah, throw that a Maggy on it. yea buddy that would move it.
