Default 232/236 cam a no go for a maggie?

Custom comp LSr lobed cam 232/236 .598/.601 on a 114lsa

I am on the fence about dropping about 4k for good heads/FAST intake, TB rails, etc and just going with a magnacharger instead. I already have kooks 1 7/8 and was wondering if the cam in the car now would kill the power gains of a blower? I would probably leave the spray on the car and bump it down to a 50 shot for very very limited use. What do you guys think?

I can get a maggie kit new for 4500 so what would you do?

The cam is a little big on overlap, but it would be fine for a Maggie, particularly a TVS blower.

Yeah, no big deal with that cam. I run the same thing in a procharged LSX motor I did for a guy @13.5psi and it's happy.
