[LS1] decision to make...to cam or to sc

[OFF T4P]

the bigger the primarys the better with my old charged ls1 i had 1 7/8 primarys 4 into 1 pacemakers 3 1/2 outlets . twin 3" with 5" steel cats more flow the better

Ls1s sound crap with a cam??? YOU sure you on the right forums.This isnt skylines aust

Have you owned a cammed LS1? Sounds great at WOT, but the other 95% of the time I didn't like it. As a result I won't be camming my current car.

The WOT exhaust pulsing with a blown car is pure sex. You'll never get that with a cam-only or turbo setup.

1:03 in that video. Enough said.

LOl nice to see theyre all law abiding citizens. If that guy in the ute lost he could have killed the people in the car coming in the opposite direction

If a granny in a civic lost control while doing the speed limit in the same area she could have also killed the car coming in the opposite direction.

Yeah? that's great!!! I'll use that one next time the police pull me over for doing skids

Yeah seriously.
Stop watching ACA. It wasn't in peak hour traffic in the middle of town, so who the fug cares?

i would imagine you can still go too big, right? you still need exhaust gas velocity to aid cylinder filling or doesnt it matter at all once you have a charger on there?

Great post!! about as good as the one earlier in thread When you told the OP a eaton blower was a centrifugal supercharger

Seriously i made a comment on a video and now your getting your knickers in a knot about it seems like your the one who cares.

Anyways on topic i think a camshaft is money better spent. In the long run its going to be and easier on your whole driveline.

With a V2 charger top end power is where its at bigger primariers are going to work better with it

FWIW, with a budget of under $10k, I'd be opting for a head / cam combination and all the supporting mods. To do FI properly, you will need more than $10k.
