I'm running a CompCam's Extreme blower cam on my 6# Vortech supercharged
LT1.  It has 218i/230e with a 114 lobe sep.  Lifts are .528i/.544e with
1.6:1 roller rockers.  The exhaust side, as someone said earlier, needs a
larger duration and lift to scavenge the exhaust gasses.  Intake isn't as
important as it was with the naturally aspirated engine because the blower
increases the volumetric efficiency over 100% anyway.  The lobe separation
at 114 keeps the overlap smaller to prevent blowing your intake air/fuel
charge right out the exhaust port. (power and fuel economy takes a dive)

Check my page for all the other mods I have done.  I'm making 450-500rwhp.
(not certain anymore...)
