Not sure. I have seen guys run them with blowers but they obviously are not on par(hp wise) with blower specific camshafts.

I agree, the LSA is tight for a blower cam. However, I made 569/481 corrected at 14lbs of boost last Saturday with the Hot Rods.

ok well w/ MY expierience i think the hot rods sucked .. yes they sounded great, but if i had to do it all over over again, i would have chosen a different cam.. one that was more power adder friendly.. my car w/ pretty much the same mods and nitrous shot as you (125 wet shot w/ a nano kit) only made 398whp on the dyno through the cats and w/ a 3k stall. and then after i would run an aftermarket tune because i didnt like how the dyno tune felt, there was always a misfire code, and the issue w/ the OD light and the trans.. maybe my issueS and poor numbers were just tune related but who knows..i wasnt happy to say the least.

Yeah, it sounds like it was more tune related than the cams. BTW, congrats on that '11, how do you like it so far?

other then the BS clutch issues (pedal sticking and the trashed stock clutch/flywheel assembly from the poor design) i love the car.. the motor is GREAT.. i just wish all the problems w/ the clutch were non existant, but thats what i get for getting the first model year of a new car.. overall i do really LOVE this car. and the clutch assembly/mechanism is my ONLY complaint.

Got ya, thanks. Man, it's hard to believe you guys can run mid 12's with 3.31 gears! :thumb2: I have 4.10's and I will be lucky to get into the 12's at all, lol.
