Cam suggestions

I am planning on upgrading the cam in my 2.8l. I have a 5 speed, headers, and a small supercharger. I am running the stock cam. I was looking at the upgraded cam from ARI and also the high flow heads that they offer. Is there a better cam that can be used?

Re: Cam suggestions

It is not worth upgrading?

Re: Cam suggestions

You have a small supercharger? Like a m90? I feel it's worth upping the cam..... something like a 260 adv durration Call up deltacams. I ran many of them, low cost and work great.

Re: Cam suggestions

I will contact them. thanks for the info. I am running a Rotrex C30-94 supercharger. It is ok, but it does not start to make boost until around 2500 rpms and it then starts to buck and ping. when it does. I know I have to work on the tune a bit but I was thinking of adding a cam and maybe high flow heads. Then tune, I am not sure what direction I want to go with that. I did get a emulator kit but am not sure how to tune it. I was thinking of using the Holley Terminator system.
Thanks Dana
