Default Blower cam...what do ya think? (specs inside)

Car is a 2002 Z06, P1SC blower (9 psi), longtubes, 411 gear, LS6 intake. Its got an aftermarket cam in there now, but its a "mystery" cam. We had some issues with the methanol injection setup, so that came off, along with the requisite retune. The customer wants to maintain 600+ rwhp (was 617 with meth tune), so we're starting with a cam swap. Heres the specs on the cam I think we'll put in there: 220/228 .581/.588 on 114 lsa. So, what do you guys think about this one? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

i think your split is a little too wide, i would do more like a 224/230 with the same amount of lift. You may want to suggest getting rid of the 411 gear , first, second and part of third are gonna be totally useless. (too much tire spin and the revs will come up too fast)

You would think so wouldnt you, but its acutally not bad. Granted, 1st is hopeless, but with some 00 treadwear BFG KD Drags (stock size) it'll stick 2nd and on up. It does tach up incredibly quick, just a wicked nasty car all the way around.

Well you might be right on the overlap. I was thinking that was quite wide. I know enough about cams to talk have an intellegent conversation, but if anyone knows what disadvantage will a too-wide overlap pose? Any other suggestions are welcome.
