Default Cam and heads install

Hi, I have holden caprice 2006 with LS1 gen 3.
the car had a cam from Thunder racing xterm 227. The cam was good with LS6 heads stage 1 from taxes speed with posh rods and dule chain and SLP oil pump. Also, porting throttll and LS6 intake. The car got 415 HP and 395tq.

Now,I wonder after changing the cam to a cheater from Thunder racing with the sam heads and parts it well be good or not

this cam
"227 xTReme" - 227/227 .639/.639 116 LSA. 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Idle Characteristics of TR 224/224. Computer tuning required.

I think thunder racing has blower cams

EDIT:

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR Blower" - 214/230 .601/.579 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band. Broad power range. Different from our CheaTR with even less valve overlap for forced induction applications. Stock like idle. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Double valve springs and titanium retainers required for this cam.
