Alright, it's that time, I'm ready to order cams for my 2006 GT 5spd, I finally saved up enough money. Now the question is, which cams? I'm stuck between:

Brenspeed Detroit Rockers
Blow By Racing Billit Stage 1
FRPP Hot Rod

I like these since they have the nice lope that I'm looking for, good power gains, and they can use VCT and don't need springs. So any input would be great if you have these cams or know anything that might help me decide. Thanks guys!
 
Right now I just have a Borla axle back, JLT Cold Air intake, and an Edelbrock wet nitrous kit. Future plans include a forged rotating assembly and a procharger along with a second stage of nitrous. Final goal is 750-800 RWHP, but that will take a year or two before I'm at that power level. I'm having to work pretty slowly towards it lol.
 
Well, I've seen all three be used in some really good blower set-ups, so I don't think that's a problem. Besides, none of these cams are all out performance cams, I'm more looking for a boost in power and a mean lope. The future power goal will be from a bullet proof rotating assembly, lots of boost, spray, and some ported heads lol. But all in due time. Right now is cams, i want to get the sound right first then start really turning up the wick once I don't have to drive it everyday.
 
I have Detroit Rockers in my 2010 GT. They sound great at idle and run pretty good with my other mods and Brenspeed tune.
Sparta is giving you good advise. A normal asperated cam will often have too much overlap (narrow LSA) to make good low end and even mid range power if you use it with a blower. Buy a blower cam if that is what you are doing. You will have a brod, usfull power range. Your stock cams are very much like blower cams.

Oh, I know. I've talked with all three companies about use of these cams with blowers and also with a lot of shops and have gotten very good feedback on how they perform, even with a centri bolted on. So I'm not too worried about that. I'm just looking for pros and cons between the three, as to which would be better for my application.
