It's not ideal for a pd supercharger but it will work.

With that much overlap it's going to be down on power from a blower cam, and crazy loud. You'd probably melt the cats pretty quick if running cats. I'd sell it and get a PD blower cam with wider LSA.

That cam would make a good trot line weight. That's the only way I'd use it. It would make plenty of buck, shake, surge, and stumble. Probably impress the car show crowd if that's what you're after. It's got no place in a mildly boosted LS engine on the streets.

On a blown car, for sure. Not sure if its a VVT cam, but that is the exact specs of the Texas Speed stage 4.2 VVT cam.

I wouldn't run it if I was going SC, but if staying NA that thing would be a monster up top.

Agreed.

Going through the time, effort, money to install a supercharger, you might as well put a proper cam in it too.

Best of luck!

Not ideal, but you’ll be fine. Slap it in.

Get a cam that's better suited, and take full advantage of the blower
