Sounds like a good cam to me although the split on the duration might be bigger than most would go. Seems like most people like 4 to 6 degree splits. The duration might be a bit big for a stock cubed car. If the car is bored/stroked then it should be a pretty good cam.
Lift numbers see right in line for a stock cubed car, might want to go a bit bigger if you have extra cubes though.

I've talked extensive to Terry @ Cam Motion and Chris Mays at Comp cams about supercharger cams, and I always try to get them to generalize. Generally speaking, here is what was said...

>5-6 psi, single pattern or 4-6 degree traditional split, keep overlap down
>more psi, 4-6 degree for sure, keep overlap low
>big psi, 6-12 degree split, race car stuff, might run more overlap if the duration is getting big

Comp tended to favor big splits more so than Cam Motion.
