it could be... not that it will... anytime you increase cam, it will pick up a bit of a lump...

the saving grace will be the 8.8:1 compression...

once the blower is hooked, it will be nice... a bit of a lump, with a blower whine... cooooooolll...... :D

That cam is only slightly larger than a stock cam. I don't think you'd even notice a difference in the idle quality or driving it around. That cam would behave sort of like putting 1.6 roller rockers on a stock cam.

It's good for a supercharger though..you'll have awesome low-mid range torque. You better have drag radials on the street. :)
