What's a good/best off the shelf cam for centrifugal blower
I've been searching and reading for couple of days now in my free time and I'm still stumped on what cam to go with for a stock bottom end ls3.
Most threads I've read really only discuss how n/a cam's worked with there centrifugals and usually break down to a back in forth argument that the cam are not ideal for the setup I plan on using a vortech v3si kit or maybe even a ecs 1500 kit ,longtube 1 7/8" headers no cats and 2.5" cat back (Flowmaster super 10's) I'm well aware of custom spec cam's from patG and btr,I don't want to get one spec'd. I want just a proven ls3(6.2L) off the shelf centri cam any recommendations from the guys that know would be appreciated

Jam Cam is good, but saying you want off the shelf is beyond silly. It takes 2-3 days to grind a cam. I had my custom pat G cam in less than a week.

Ya I guess it might seem silly to some but I just want something that is a sure thing and has many proven results. Who knows I might end up getting patG to hook me up.nothing is set in stone so far

You haven't even mentioned if the car is auto or standard, stock stall or not, etc, and nobody asks. It beyond silly to choose a cam asking on a forum and listening to video's. Have one spec'd or consult an expert, who will ask you the proper questions. Otherwise there is a good chance you will be disappointed.

Proven results with a smaller centrifugal blower.....as I put in the opening post ( v3si or novi 1500 ) obvious that I'm interested in increasing power when I state supercharger is in the setup ,or so I thought it was obvious The car's a manual transmission so converter stall don't matter I have not been listening to any videos or ever stated I was ...? I have built a couple cammed LS n/a motors in the past and know first hand how it's going to sound more or less I understand that your trying to help with your suggestions to go custom cam and I do get it ,guess I just wanted suggestions to point me the right way to get a feel for the specs on cam's I should be looking for to pick a cam that will pair well with a small centrifugal

As a simple example, the cam I run (I wont list specs in respect to Pat G.) is very far off from any "off the shelf" blower cams. The thing is it does exactly what I want it to do. Almost no lope, idles as smooth as stock at 750 through an auto, pulls all the way to 7000 rpm, and makes as much power as any I have seen. That is what I asked for. You may want something totally different. That is why I say, considering it costs almost nothing, get it spec'd and get what you want out of it. Good luck which ever route you go.

Obviously I may be biased, but we have had some very good results from our blower cam, very well track proven.

I would listen to the pros, before I listen to a forum regarding cam choices. There are too many good professionals out there who can steer you in the right direction, like Brian Tooley, Pat G, Doug @ECS, just to name a few. Most quality shops have a few that they recommend also.

I have a very similar cam to the jre rowdy cam I am Procharged with a agp intercooler and it sounds mean and 765 rwhp on a 5.5 pulley 12psi very conservative tune on stock bottom end could have done more timing and got 800 and switch to 2" headers and got more. But waste gating it next and then worry about or just put the stroker in
