Default !Help me pick between 2 blower cams!

So I am between two different used blower cams right now (cant afford cutom spec'd). The Brute speed/ EPP blower cam and an SLP blower cam. Ill list the specs below and tell me which you think would be better for my set up (mods are in signature). It seems a lot people say the Brute Speed cam is designed for the procharger but I found some members with good results from the LG5XB cam, which is very similar to the Brute speed. I will also be swapping my 3.1 Pulley for a 2.8 pulley in the process. Here they are:

Brute speed: 232/240 .595/.608 115
SLP 51011: 214/222 .559/.566 115

Well I just bought a Brute Speed Cam. I went with it because its a proven cam. I will be installing it in a few weeks. Also look into the 228R cam.

With that little blower Id prob go with the smaller of the two. Something in between might work the best.

I'm pretty sure he went with a 224/230 114lsa that I suggested be installed 3-4 degrees advanced.
