Default Best blower cam?

What is the best cam for a supercharger application. My last car I had the E-cam with the SC trim(6lbs), it seemed to do ok. The setup I'm going to start buying is the twisted wedge heads, Trickflow trackheat upper and lower intake and an S-trim S/C. Also 75MM throttle body, 75MM mass air w/30 or 36 lb injectors, and 255 lph fuel pump. What cam is best for this setup, this is the only thing I'm not really sure on.

Are the heads ported or are they box stock? Nevertheless, I would recommend calling around and looking into a custom grind, gets the best out of your combo, any off the shelf cam will work based on your valvetrain, but how well? I would look into cammotion as they helped me pick one of my older cams, but Crane did my latest cam using the XFI series lobes for stroker motors. Too bad I sold all of my stuff, but I will be back at it again in the future.

BigDawg suggested a custom cam and thought you should call Cam Motion. I would second that. Speak with Terry. The guy really knows his shit. We get custom cams from him all the time and they have never let us down. If you are looking for something "off-the-shelf", call Anderson Motorsports. Ron's cams seem to work pretty well also.

https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/s...d.php?t=268131 That would be a great blower cam as well.

Too much lift for twisted wedge heads, if he track heats it would be good

Rick Anderson does make custom grind cams, Not just off the shelf

Why is that too much lift? I've seen flow charts for twisted wedge track heats showing max flow above .500 unported? Is there another reason?

the trick flow twisted wedge heads only have .550" lift springs that cam would put the valve springs into coil bind and you'd start breaking valves. He would need a valve spring package to .600" lift

Oh ok I see what ya mean, well springs aren't too expensive and that's a good price for that cam, so it may be worth it.
