I own a 1995 Firebird with an ATI 9 lb intercooled procharger, 50 lb injectors, 58mm throttle body, 1.6 rockers, accel ignition, 1 3/4 slp headers, LT-1 Edit.
I would like to put a cam and heads on her, what would be the best cam, Comp tells me the 07-502-8 but I'm not sure that's the best one.
Please help!

 

You really need to do a search in this forum for cam advice. It has been gone over so much recently that I think people are pretty sick of posting about it. The specs are:

Advertised Duration 269/276
Duration At 0.050" 218/224
Lobe Lift 0.330/0.335"
Lobe Separation 112
Intake Center Line 108
Valve Lift with 1.5:1 rockers 0.495/0.503"
Valve Timing
Open/Close
Intake 26/62
Exhaust 74/22


To decide if this is the right cam for you, a lot more info is needed. Any and all details about the rest of your combo and how you use the car are helpful. If you post them, I will give you my $0.02.

I only drive the car on weekends and sometimes to the track.
Car also has 3:42 gears and a 6 speed
Thanks for the Help!

 

I am going with the Lingenfelter Blower Cam. I talked to a guy there and he told me that this is the PERFECT blower cam. They made 650 HP with that cam, AFR 190's, and 10psi!!! I trust lingenfelter also because he is the best tuner out there!! Here are the specs:

215/220 duration @.050 .530/.530 lift with 1.6 114 LSA

Hope this helps, Nick

 

The 502 cam specs indicate more overlap than I like to see. Again, details about your combo are needed to go into any great detail. The other thing about the 502 (and that 215/220 cam from Lingenfelter) that I don't like is that there isn't enough split between the intake and exhaust. More exhaust duration and a wider LSA are in order with that intake lobe.

Again, I don't know the details of your combp, so it's difficult to be more specific.
