How many PSI are you planning on running and have you taken into consideration Compression ratio?

even better is what heads do you have so we know what the lift limitation would be

OK I'm going to assume (yes I just made us all look like ass's) that you mean 8.5 - 10 PSI of boost . In which case I'm going to hope you have Donald Trump backing this project because of the High Compression Ratio , You would need to drastically lower compression or run 200 Octane fuel(for those of you that don't know I'm making a joke this rating doesn't exist).I would recommend if your looking to make lots of power and not kill the Retirement or College fund's to use no higher than 6 PSI and to even reconsider using a blower at all as you can make some awesome power with a moderate cam and some ported heads out of the LT1.

You can use the stock LT1 cam which is mild but if your in the need for extra horsepower a cam is always good idea and does wonder's when combined with some ported stock heads.

if you want to leave the stock cam and dopnt have the money for heads just put some 1.6 or 1.7 roller rockers on thier and you will have some better flow for the new air
