Theres a lot better blower cams out there specific to blower aplications, comp cams makes a few grinds and so does combo motor sports.

Much better cams out there, look for one with a 114lsa rather than 112. Try and find a cam with as little amount of overlap as possible.

The LT4 cam is FAR more popular than it should be mostly just do to peoples inability to do any research, and just plain wrong for boost keep looking.

Not necessarily for forced induction cars.. you want to have a lower intake duration, if the valve is open for too long you will bleed off boost.
