N/A Cam work with F/I - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I've done all of the bolt-ons for my car except getting new heads. My question is though, if I go F/I can I still use the cam I had installed? Its the TSP Stage 3 cam 231/236 LSA112 .600 lift. Thank you guys!

I have an NA VVT SS1 Cam with my LSA SC. I'm happy with it...

Our stage 2 na cam does a very good job with a blower

Sweet. Thanks again!!

And my last question is, at what point do I need to start worrying about breaking my rearend or needing a stronger clutch?

As soon as you put it on a drag radial and take it to the drag strip.... both do not hold up well to hard launches. If you're just doing street pulls the stock stuff will hold up OK to 700ish than clutch will need to be addressed first. If you don't do any racing from a dead stop, diff is ok, my stock rear has held in there making 800+ on the street with drag radials but I've got BMR cradle and diff bushings, toe rods and trailing arms to keep everything tight back there

once you get around 600 wheel (which you should be far past with cam and blower) the clutch will be fine for awhile. But it will slowly start to go. my buddys stock clutch would occasionally slip into 4th at wide open throttle, therefore we knew it was near its end. he was at 650 rwhp for maybe 30,000 miles with heavy abusive driving before he needed an aftermarket clutch. them stock clutches aren't too bad.

Centri blowers love N/A cams

Awesome. Thanks so much

Like it's already been said, as soon as you start hard launching the car, you're going to risk breaking your axles and rear end and ruin your clutch. Do yourself a favor and upgrade your rear end, get the ZL1 package, it comes with axles driveshaft and rear end all together then get yourself a duel disk clutch, or triple disk.

I have a big NA cam in mine. Pulls hard all the way to 7k rpm.

bbturbo11 · 11-23-2016, 06:12 PM

Thanks again gentlemen. All great news though. I thought I would have to buy a new cam. D3R3k what's the lift on your cam?

BEASSTING · 11-23-2016, 08:03 PM

NA Kaotik cam here & turbos. Don't remember the cam specs though. All advice here is spot on. At a certain hp level...Clutch, suspension, rear end is a must. My first trip to the track with turbos I blew my rear end. Upgraded the rear end but it's wheel hopping like crazy now...on the street. So definitely upgrading suspension before I head back to the track.
