Default How does adding an Eforce effect a cam?

After doing my cam upgrade on my LS2 I have come to realize I really want more low end torque for fun since i don't race. My cam is 222/228 114+4 with long tube headers.

How would the boost effect the idle? Would it lope less? Is this a good supercharger cam?

Also, if i were to go back to the stock cam for simple reliability, would you put in a ZR1 cam instead of the stock LS2?

The s/c will have no effect at idle, nor will it change the idle characteristics......and that is a nice s/c cam. And if it were me, I'd add the s/c and have fun - don't bother going back to a stock or ZR1 cam.
