Going FI, will an LG G7X3 cam be ok for an FI set-up?
Well I decided to let the mod bug win and get an FI set-up. My plan is to go with an ECS kit, with a Novi 2200SL headunit and keep the boost managable and make somewhere around 650/650 or more, lol. I currently have an N/A H/C/I set-up making 566/500 and would like to know if I can keep my LG G7X3 cam or should I upgrade to an ECS big blower cam? I really have grown to like the aggressive cam sound and would like to keep that. Thanks for the help and opinions.
Oh I did a search and found a post by LG where they made 655ish with there G7X3 cam and a D1SC running 5 psi, just want to see if anyone has another opinion.

If you like the cam then leave it in there, and adding a blower will have no ill effect, it will still drive like a cammed car until you are into boost, The boost will just bleed down a little faster than a "blower cam" would, I have the black mamba cam in my car along with a D1SC at 11 psi and I like how when just tooling around I'm more on the cam before I'm even into boost, then when the boost kicks In its a whole new animal, and you should make way more than the 650, I'm putting down 755 on a stock bottom stock heads ls7 with a fairly safe tune.

Wow bro, I had no idea you can run that much boost and be at that power level safely. Are you using meth, how long/many miles have you had the car with that set-up? What exactly do you mean boost bleed down? I am fairly new to FI, had a few FI mustangs but always with stock cams.

I had no idea LS7s could run that kind of boost and power and survive. You must have one hell of a tuner! What kind of TQ does she make?

Yeah it can be done, some may say otherwise but many on here have done it, can't remember who but someone was running 15psi through a stock ls7, 657 TQ is what I made.
