I'm guessing this camshaft wasn't based on a 'truck' platform...

What are you suggesting for a radix truck that will max HP at or near 6K?,And idle smooth and have a duration under 210

That is pretty much how it was explained to me....I was not too worried about the loss of a few ft pounds on the bottom end.....The blower takes care of that. This cam was orig made for the LS1 corvette.
Here is the graph, this was backed up on a few other dynos and was within 10-12 rwhp on each one:

BlownChevy,
Do you have a graph of your setup before the cam?
Thanks.

Gonzo,
This may go against traditional thinking but, I keep this in mind when I give thought to blower cams despite the fact that he is discussing 'high boost' applications.

If you put a blower on a stock motor, it still makes more power, right? Even though you didn't increase the size of the exhaust lobe. How can you get more in if you didn't get more out? The answer is simple... since you had more cylinder pressure, the greater pressure difference across the exhaust port allowed more exhaust to flow through the port, even without more cam or port. To optimize this requires only a small change in the exhaust side of the motor to match the boost levels you are using. Since these engines are too heavily exhaust biased to begin with, my recommendations for a blower cam come out looking like straight pattern cams.
When you pressurize the intake to two atmospheres, the column of air in the runner now has twice the density; therefore it has twice the mass. This means it is actually harder to accelerate it toward the cylinder. Proper exhaust scavenge during overlap is still beneficial filling the cylinder, even with forced induction. The motor still needs adequate overlap to fill the cylinder effectively.

that's about where he stopped the dyno. the number will stay pretty flat yet to 6500 if he'd kept going with only a small amount of loss shown.

This is the kind of answer an attorney would give.You came across as an authority on cams and LC.I wanted to know what you thought would be a better cam spec than the GT2-3 for the radix and why.
