Hey guys, I thought we needed one more thread on cams!
Ok, I was thinking about before running boost (s/c or turbo, probably turbo) I would do the LT1 intake converison with the LT4 "hot" cam to get some decent power out of my TPI 350. I was wondering if the LT4 is worse than the stock cam for a boosted engine?

Try the TPIS zz9 cam. It is very streetable, works well with that intake and works very well with boost. I ran that cam with a 355 and Vortech and was running consistant 11.20-11.40's.
Good luck with whatever you go with>

I was talking to a guy that helped design that cam. I wanted to run it with my turbo project but he was advising against it. The way he explained it to me was that the cam was more for top end then low end. With a turbo you want a cam that makes good power in low rpms.
