I've got the same cam as you. Let us know what you end up doing, I'm interested in seeing the results.

I'll have to say it works. It's the cam that is in my camaro. Magnuson Heartbeat running 8 1/2 pounds of boost. It's a beast. Daily driven in city traffic.

In Hawaii I am sure your limited in your choices and may need to talk to some other vendors with remote tuning...…… Yes its not the most desirable cam for it but a mild blown vehicle can survive with a tighter LSA its about most likely for some shops standing behind anything...…. and yes a blower cam would be much better just as a LSA block, forged pistons etc, or a zl1 rear end or yada yada..... and if they with what they know can even tune for it or have experience and that's very important IMO....

Lots to think about. What are the specs on a factory 2013 SS Camaro cam?

I sure did — with a VVT SS1 from GPI, maxed it out on e85 681/636 RWHP/RWTQ but, now I’m running Forged/stroked LSA...

For those that have a cam similar to mine where the LSA is narrow, do you find when you added a procharger or supercharger you lose power at higher RPMs? Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

A Procharger is a Centri and Centri's love RPM, so not sure why it would lose power there...

I was told my cam is too small for the airflow at higher RPMs, but should do well in the mid RPMs.

When I was building engines, the goal was to make as much power as possible WITHOUT having to turn excessive rpms, its tough on parts. Adding 4 degrees of LSA would work better, but doesn't mean your cam would be that out of whack, not worth doing a cam change....
