Default EPP Blower Cam with NA engine?

I am interested in putting the EPP blower cam in my car this summer, but my car will be NA until the Procharger install over the winter.

Will I see any improvement in my hp and torque curves over the stock cam that is in my car now or will it actually be worse because the car is still NA?

I know this cam get high praise for a LS procharged car....anyone one else have suggestions for a good blower cam that will work great under boost and work OK in NA form for now?

This is what I found for EPP blower specs:

232/240 in/ex duration

.595/.608 in/ex lift

115 LSA

Based on the 0,050" numbers and nothing else, this will work well in a
naturally aspirated engine. The top end my suffer slightly, but you'll
make mid range power.

With the relatively long duration on the exhaust, the low end torque
might be slightly weak due to the exhaust duration, but you can always
advanced the camshaft to compensate.

When you install the supercharger, just dial the camshaft back to the
recommended centerline and all will be fine.

P.S. Always check for clearance before phasing the cam.
