A 108 LSA cam is NO WAY optimum for a blower. 114 to 116 is blower cam territory.

I also have a tight lsa cam, CC XE 230/236 110 in a 95 LT1 car. I do have quite a prob with idle quality. Thats the only prob I think you would have. I havent tried to work mine out, so I wouldnt know.

No blower. This would be for a N/A road racing engine.

Timing, the magic is in the timing. I've worked with a 110º before and that was really the only issue. Idle vacuum wasn't great (map was around 60-64 at idle), but I did alright and was very streetable with 3.42s/6 speed. Cam was similar to a 306.

Elkyracer - Exactly what kind of idle problems do you have with your cam? Iminterested in a similar setup.
