As per title does any one have any feed back or opinion? Am sure that I have read on here that it would actually be detrimental to the power of a LB supercharged engine to change the cams, but can't find the thread now.Thanks in advance. |

No gains, stick with standard, been discussed before, hotter cams actually reduce power.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Well that's not strictly true you could get some cams made to a specific spec for forced induction but off the shelf cams are designed for n/a |

To make more power from a LB SC conversion, you would need milder cams as stated, not the uprated ones which have higher lift and make the engine more peakier.  To be fair though, if you need more power than a LB SC with std cams gives you, then you're probably best off going for HB.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
