Procharger F1R/ERL427 cam opinion.

Picked up these parts for another project that's been in the works for some time. Engine is ERL 427 with mast big bore heads. Trans is a jakes 4L80E with trans brake and PTC 3400/3600 triple disc converter. Blower is an F1R. Here's where my question is. The cam I believe was speced for a PD blower. Will this work for my application? 232/252 .639/.639 117+3.

What would you recomend? And how much would I be leaving on the table if I run this cam?

I'd recommend getting together with a cam guy and getting one made for your combo. Any cam will work with a blower. Some are just more effective than others. A custom cam brings your combo together. A custom grind doesn't cost any more than an off the shelf cam.

I don't know enough about designing cams to give an educated guess on what you are giving up. Give someone like Martin@Tick a call and he will know. He has done two of my last cams and nailed it.
