Lumpy idle with a supercharger not possible??

The cam that comes in the B15 crate engine is an off the shelf LS7 cam. Nothing that is designed for boost, or even the displacement or style of cylinder heads that are on it.

I would call a company like BTR or Cam Motion and tell them what you are building and have them spec a cam to your wants and needs. There is a lot of power to be gained in that engine from a cam swap.

There is no reason you can't have an aggressive idle with a supercharger, but you don't want hardly any overlap, so you have to go about it in other ways, like has already been stated in this thread.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to give me some good advice. One thing that concerns me is building a combo that my tuner has no base line for. Hes already recommended the cam I mentioned earlier but it seems there is no love for that one thus far. Where in NorCal are you?

This might sound harsh, but if your tuner can't tune something like this from scratch, you should find a new tuner. Really though, the cam that you put in the engine is all going to be dependent on your goals and the rest of the setup on the car.

I am in the San Jose area. Feel free to PM me and I'd be happy to help you out.

Thank you for the offer I appreciate that! I did reach out to a guy and hes selling me the cam and injectors and will be doing the tuning for me.
