A couple of the BTR blower cams are on a 120ish LSA so they won't have the lope. Not exactly sure how they'd do in a naturally aspirated setup.

I had this cam in my car and it had a pretty hefty lope. The LSA wasn't as high as a BTR, but it was still up there. LS3 with a LSA supercharger.

240/256 118+4 LSA .621" Intake/.604" Exhaust

Because lsa alone doesn't determine how hard a car will lope. You have to look at durations and centerlines. If you have 2 identical cams but one with a 110 and another on a 114, then yes it will be obvious that the 110 will have more lope because it has more overlap.

I think the BTR4 on an NA application for the street you need like 427-454 cubes for it to have decent street manners. Especially if your car is on heavy side with like a 2.70- 3.08 rear - though the newer automatics have a low first gear but the sticks have like 2.60 or so. All depends on the outcome you want.
