Default Cam question

About to start the tear down/build up on my 01 Z06. I bought an A&A blower kit (S trim) back in November and have been collecting parts ever since to get this project started. I currently have a Futral Motorsports F11 cam on a 114. Specs are 228"/230" .576"/.595" 114LSA. While I know this isn't a blower cam, will this still work out pretty good for me? Not trying to get every last bit of HP out of it, as I am sure a true blower cam would be better. But will this cam at least be considerably better than the stock cam? I will be running a set of 317 heads and all the usual bolt ons (long tubes, no cats, Ti exhaust, overdrive balancer, Alky control meth kit) Just looking for a solid 600 RWHP until I spring for a forged shortblock. What are your thoughts?

I run a "non-blower" cam in my car that was spec'd out for my setup it is a 226/234 598 601 113 +2 and it does just fine for me.

E mailed comp cams my set up and only going to run 8.5 psi and the cam they e mailed me back on was very close to what you have.
224/228 58?/591 @ 114 so your right there on the money.
Agree with the others. It will be just fine..
