Default Is this a good blower cam?

Would this be a good blower cam for a otherwise stock motor with headers and a procharger p1 with about 6 pounds of boost. Here are the specs 224/228 .536/.539 113+4. The lift is kind of low, but would this be a good cam for a blower? What is really a good blower cam, spec wise??

the split is ok., the lift can be higher but that's ok, i'd go with a 114 or higher on the lsa

depends on how high you want to rev it, that should make good power to the stock redline.

figure out where you want to make most of your power. is this a street car, weekend car?

most people go with a 220/224 or 224/230 with about .580 lift or a bit higher. Valvesprings are necessary.

Not too bad, but I would like to the LSA a little wider around 115. A really good mild blower cam is the LPE one. Look at that one if you have not already ordered that one.

I agree with the lift could be a little more, but should make decent power.

Lift is okay with stock heads.
