This humor is in the vagueness. Right, how? How does this statement assist the OP?
There are cams referred to as "blower cams" because of their intended application. These cams take into account the overlap, ramp speeds, and intake and exhaust durations that accommodate and make best use of the pressurized intake. I agree that it's possible for some non-blower specific cams to perform on a blown motor, but that statement does not help the OP understand there are nuances between blown and unblown motors. For example, any tire will roll down a race track, but that is not valuable information for someone who is trying to set up their car.
