Hello everyone, in the process of doing major changes to the Camaro (Cam, valvetrain, gears, shift kit, and Supercharger) I have stock heads that have been ported and polished and have the Intense 1.9 rockers w/ LS6 springs and new pushrods, I was wondering what type of cam should i go with this valvetrain setup and the Powerdyne Supercharger. Any info will be helpful.
Camaro cam question???

Ruben,
With 1.9 rockers, there is no cam that will work. There are many camshafts that will work with 1.6 rockers. When choosing a camshaft, keep in mind that max. valve lift with stock heads is Between .510, and .530. Any higher valve lift requires machining of valve guides. This allows the valve seal to be moved down thus making more room for valve travel.

So what rockers should I get, and what cam will I get the most out of with this set up?
