Supercharger Cam help
Hey everyone, i am thinking about getting a cam for my engine and roller rockers. Any sugestions which cam/lobe and all that?
I have a 1991 350 tpi speed density, with a p600 procharger, pushing 9 pounds, 24 lb injectors, fmu, bbk fpr, walbro 255, UR6 spark plugs, 3.73 gears. Manual trans. Stock internal engine parts.
Let me know what would be the best way to get more power with what cam.
THANKS!!
(I dynoed her Saturday and she put 400 Hp and 458 Tq at the wheels.)

Re: Supercharger Cam help
I believe stock heads on those can only take a cam with .488 lift. If you have some kind of dial gauge you could pop a spring off a valve and measure how much lift it will allow until the retainer hits the guide. A machine shop could play with the guides if you want more lift, but that would also involve removing the heads.

Thanks for the info, i was hearing that i would have to do head work for over .500 lift. i am thinking about just waiting til i build a motor and throw some afr's on.
