Default How terrible would a blower be with this cam?

I know it would not be 100% ideal for max power production, but how bad would a Vortech setup be on the following cam?

Specs: 228*-232*-111*-.612"-.600"

On any particular engine or setup ?

If it's already in there and you dont want to pull it apart, just run it.

If it makes power N/A it'll make power with a blower..... Or so they say
....IBut if starting from scratch a dedicated blower cam would be a better choice.... Run what's in there....

Just run it. You obviously like that lope. I personally liked it for a while too, but got sick of it on my first car. It will make power while not being ideal.

It may not be optimal for boost but it should still work. We had a C5 with a LS3 and a Vortech that ran a n/a cam for a long time and it made great power even though we were leaving some on the table. We didnt swap it until we tore into the motor.
Now, if youre about to install a blower kit, then I would swap the cam. Youre already there once you have to change the crank pulley and what not. Half the work is done. Might as well get a cam spec'd out for your combo and know youre getting as much power as possible out of your setup.

Ah that is another thing I'd need to consider that I totally forgot about. I have a 10% UD ATI Dampner. Don't want to go underdriving your blower
