Default Thunder 214-230 600/575 117LSA Blower cam?

For my 01 SS M6 , D1-sc twin intercooled Procharger system, with A Razor Methanol injection system. The car is a street car,

With 9.5 compression built 346 LS1 motor(diamond boost pistons, eagle H-beam rods)

LS1 241 casting Absolute speed Stage 1X ported heads , stock valves flowing 295 @ 600 lift,

Running FLP long tube headers (no cats) and duel-duel out let, single 3" SLP SS stock exhaust.

I am interested in the Thunder Racing Blower cam, at 214-230 duration and 600/575 lift on a 117 LSA

what do you think about this cam?
I am looking for a nice idel, and low end TQ band, reving up to 6,500-6,700

I need a very streetable cam with a smooth idel that will work great with boost, Procharger.
Let me know your input about this cam and how well it will work with my combo.
my tuner said it will work good
thank you

Probably idle like stock since it's similar to LS7 cam. I think that cam will need high rpms, but I could be wrong. What are your goals.

I was running 10psi. I'm building a new forged bottom 9.5:1 with better heads, bigger cam, adding meth inj. and I'm going to up the boost to 14psi. Shooting for 800rwhp

I found out the exact spects of the Thunder Racing blower cam today

214-230 601/575 on a 117 LSA + 1 degree = (116cl)

the 214 intake lobe is a custome - special thunder comp cams lobe

and the 230 exhaust lobe is a compcams XER lobe

dont think anyone is running that cam on here to my knowledge. That's a pretty big split in duration. It may work good but I agree with PSJ that thing looks like it'll need to be spun pretty high don't know.

honestly I dont think anyone knows what the optimal blower cam is, its all merely speculation.

my "blower cam" is a 224/230 on a 115. 581/588

Why not go with the LS6 cam? kp is running 9.2's with it on his D1SC set up and it would be a good street cam, easy on the valvetrain...
