Mate whats the Lobe Seperation Angle? How much boost? How much power you looking to make? You need something with a wider than usual LSA maybe 114 or more to keep the charge inside the chambers

you can never have a cam to big even for a blower depends on how much power you want get something with 108 or 106 lobe sep get the kool choppy idle LOL you will have heaps of torque because of boost

Yes LSA would help..... Also what type of blower?? Centri?? Positive displacemt (ie:roots, screw etc)?? If its a centrifugal blower your looking to use it with that RPM range is not too practical....
