L92 Longblock + LSA Supercharger - What Cam?

Cool. It's good to have a game plan. Now stick to it and let us know how it turns out.

Save a couple pennies for an upgraded heat exchanger with a fan. Install the upgraded HX in place of the original, AND install the original lsa heat exchanger between the reservoir and the blower. You shouldn't need meth with two heat exchangers unless you are road racing it.

Thanks for all the input!

I'm planning on the ZL1 heat exchanger as it's bigger than the V's and pump (as well as SC cover as it's worth some flow/power) in front of the radiator. If it isn't sufficient for my needs I'll upgrade down the road, but given it works for the ZL1 which is a car that's probably capable of pushing much harder than my 72 (ridetech fronts/ GW springs out rear and Z51 brakes) I think it'll be good for my use.

I keep blowing my budget away... but trying to hold back where I can. Started w/ 10k for wheels/suspension/brakes, but since have added a TKO, seats, CF parts, and now a blown LS motor

Long block gets in this week and I'm picking up blower base unit this weekend...so it's starting to come together. Now time to buy a real torque wrench and read up on the actual work, this is my first foray into anything beyond easy bolt on stuff.

Thinking I'll talk w/ Dave about tuning once it's in car, hoping he'll chime back in here on the latest plan and guesstimate what it'll do haha.
