I'm new to this forum, so I feel like I've wandered into somebody's living room. But......I'm buying cams now and have been on a search for awhile. I'm already s/c'd (2000GT with P1SC Procharger). You will need a "blower cam" which will work as a gentleman on your N/A for now. VT Competition Engine Development (formerly VT Engines) has a new blower cam they will be offering "off the shelf" starting this week. It is a 222 I/235 E duration, .567 I/.540 E lift and 114* lobe separation angle (LSA). It makes a good blower cam because of its LSA which keeps the intake forced induction from going out the exhaust valve during overlap, since there is very little, if any valve overlap due to the LSA. Also, the combination of a high intake lift coupled with a moderate intake duration makes for good low end torque and increased rpm throughout the range. It will also shift the powerband to the right. I'm thinking I will (hopefully) be shifting at about 6500 instead of 6100 now. Scott at VT is really good to talk to. He doesn't rush you through and will talk about your setup. Good luck.
