You need more lift on the exhast side, than the intake side. The reason is that getting air into a blown engine is not the problem. it is getting the air out of the cylinder. That is why your duration on the exhast is more than on the intake.

I called one of the guys that works at the shop I use... talked to him about this cam. He is very confident with this cam, the guy who ground it was actually the one that spec'ed it out for my car, custom grind. The shop has used a similar cam and got 540+rwhp on a blown C5 Vette w/o heads and all bolt ons.... believe me I was a little skeptical with the numbers but I was also told that if I wasnt happy with this cam they would swap it for me.

I agree with these folks the lift should be higher on the exhaust side. The duration keeps the valve open longer for the exhaust gasses to get out but the lift doesn't let the valve come up as much to compliment the duration.

you can make same power with lower lift on the exhaust... if you add in extra duration to get the same lobe area. This however is going to cut lowend torque most likely. At low rpm, useable cylinder pressure stays higher longer with a blower motor, so cutting into that power stroke a little too early will cut low rpm power
