Default LS7 cam

I am planning on putting an LS7 z06 factory cam in my lq4 6.0 for a budget carbed blow thru turbo setup. I guess my questions are, will it sound good at all idling, and how well do they do with boost? thanks.

you will have to change your front cover to a ls2 with the front cam sensor, also have to change the cam gear to ls2, i don't remember the exact specs 216/230 duration 594/598 lift with 1.8 rockers, I have the same cam out of a 08 z06, thought it would make a good turbo cam, I couldn't use it because there is no cam trigger for the rear cam sensor to pick up, I have a 2 peice front cover and I didn't want to change it.
