I have a 2005 VZ SSZ LS1 with the CNC Higgins Heads and the following cam:
Camtech Cam
CT2871 49919A/49907A-112
224˚ 228˚ .580" .591" 112˚ LSA
The car is making 294rwkw and I want to make some more power. I'm thinking about going down the SC route but I'm worried that with this cam it isn't going to be able to make boost properly. I've been told that while it's probably not going to be "ideal" it will also have no problems creating boost. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on cams as despite my reading and research they still confuse me a fair bit. I do know that most people recommend at least a 113-115 or higher LSA for boost and that the exhaust duration etc also contribute to how well it will go and how much boost and power it will make (or in this case what I'm worried about possibly lose).
So the question is while this cam may not be ideal for making optimum power, is it going to cause major issues and ultimately not be worthwhile doing at all?
Thanks in advance.
