What do you want? Most power but undriveable or nice road manners

It was, Wayne has been around the LS etc for some time though

Problem is, it's like asking what car is best for me, what TV is best for me ?


I've probably made more power than anyone here wit a supercharger....and TBH, used several different cams over the years and really dont think most made a huge difference between them

Just pick a cam from some of the many many popular/readily available profiles out there, and spin the blower hard. They'll be popular for a reason...they work.

sorry i did put it up off my phone but not gone up
its a standard ls1 gto engine 0 miles with ported 243 casting heads with edelbrock vally charger and i have been on this forum most probably longer than most doing my first ls conversion on a e30 m3 in 2005 i will be running a stand alone ecu so thats not a problem, this is going in a bmw 3 series touring so weight wont be an issue either as lighter than any monaro or vxr8

any help appreciated

One limitation...is do you have to pass a legitimate MOT ?

If so, that will restrict choices and force a milder option

If not, then you can go to a more aggressive cam, but really, pick from any of the commonly used options

Also what valves/springs etc as you'd need these to suit whatever lift etc you intend to run.
