Blower Cam Question I'm looking at a cam to pair up with the Eaton 112 I'm gonna pick up from LMSpeed, and I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice. I want something with some lope to it, and I'm not too concerned on low end power / torque as the Maggie will take care of that. This will be run with LTs and a Spec 3+. I don't want something that will drive like *** on the street as it's where 90% of this cars time will be.
Options:
224/232 .581/.595 114 (114 might bleed off boost?)
or the one I really want from EPP
232/240 .595/.608 115
Now keep in mind this is with STOCK heads. So will PV clearance be a problem with this one? Just for anyone curious here is the EPP Cam.

Yes the EPP one is a little extreme. I think the first may suit my needs better. The first cam is a SC2 by Speed Inc, by the way.

"Bleeding off boost" its an assumption, but doesn't actually happen
One of highest dynoing blower car we've had used a 112 LSA cam FWIW

I would have never guessed a 232/234 .595/.598 112+2 cam would be a well performing blower cam, but it worked. Have to think outside the box I guess?
What i've noticed, overlap works likewise for N/A as it does forced induction.
I would consider the 'bleeding off boost' mentality when the exhaust port had flow similar to the intake port, but from what i've witnessed, the exhaust doesn't flow enough.
