zo6 cam for FI or you would probably benefit a little more from a 114lsa.

That work work fairly well in either, but like stated above a 114 would be better as there would be a little less overlap to bleed boost.

Thunder Racing CheaTR cam is outstanding for superchargers and nitrous:
215/230 .600/.578 117LSA +1
Better than the LS6 cam

A cam ground specifically for forced induction or nitrous is only worth it if you really add lots of extra power. For example, if you were only running 5-6 psi boost, then probably not. But if you were running 10-15 psi, the hell yes, it's worth it. Same if you exceed 200 shot for nitrous. Above that point a nitrous specific cam will show gains over an NA cam.
