Is this cam good for a Maggie?
Is this cam good for a Maggie? Looking at a used MP 112 HH for my LS1, is my current cam and Trickflow 215 Heads going to be good for this blower?

If you like the operating characteristics of the cam, it will be fine. It will make little if any more power than a milder grind though. Also, you're going to experience a little (or maybe more than a little) rotor knock with a cam like that. Heads will work great. They will help make more power on less boost which is all good.
The MP112 I had showed a little slack between the drive pulley and the rotors (maybe in the drive gears). If you had a rough idle cam, there tended to be some noise because of that slack. Don't have a clue whether it ever hurt anything. After changing from a 5.3L to a 6.0L and throwing in a milder cam, the knock disappeared. Your cam along with my MP112 would have been noisy to say the least.
