Can I run a Pro Charger with my cam?

[mrfister]

I put a GMPP ASA cam in my '02 Silverado 5.3. Can I run a Pro Charger w/ this eng. or will I have to wait 'till I change over to the 454 stroker?

Boost likes anything, just like nitrous.. Just a matter of what cam it likes more. Put the blower on and let it eat.. And do explain about this 454 stroker :/

Punch your cam numbers into this thing:

If your value comes out "0" or negative then your cam should be fine for boost.

This link said my cam has an overlap of 11.00

I will pick one of these or maybe the SDPC 440 "the big bull" short blocks. also undecided between short / long block


There's some others I'm looking at just want to do my reserch first and make sure I get the best one for me and for the $.

Personally, I wouldn't use that cam with boost if it has 11* of overlap, but that's just me. Cam usage, selection, and preference is a VERY divided topic so you will hear many different suggestions when it comes to cams. My cam specs are:

580/580
220/222
114 LSA

Just to give you an idea of what I believe is a decent boost cam. Hope this helps

That's what I thought about the cam, so I'll just wait 'til I stuff in the bigger cubes.
Thanks.

Listen up cam expert ...... he has boost but it IS NOT a turbo....... So overlap is fine as long as he has enough blower/pulley to make boost .. My shop truck has a EPP blower cam... 232/240 115 600 600 or so.. And it makes over 620 on a mustang dyno on 10psi ....... 2004 LT Ex cab 2wd 5.7L 4l60 10psi and full weight truck..... 11.50-11.70 in the heat on pump gas and NO meth.... I think there are better cams then the ASA cam... but if you own it already then use it.... I like 4-6 degree split with a blower
