Default Blower Cam

I was looking for a cam for lsa swapped 08 Silverado z71. It has 3.73 gears, 2800rpm converter, longtubes, 3 inch exhaust, ill be making between 12-16lbs of boost. I was looking at this cam 215/232 .609/.599 113+1 TVS Stage 1 would this work well or should I try something else? is there a recommend cam I should try or that would suit me better?

Tell us more about the set up. LSA blower, or a complete LSA motor?

If its just the LSA blower, I assume you have adapter plates? 5.3?

It's a 5.3, Lsa lower, zl1 lid, 2.5 upper pulley, %10 overdrive crank pulley,(estimating about 12-15lb of boost but not sure lol) 80lb injectors, adapter plates, Olson customs Lsa acc drive kit. Truck has longtubes, 2800 rpm converter, 4l60e tranny, I'll b fabbing a custom 4in intake. 3in exhaust. Going to a Sd tune.

Sounds like a good cam. What kind of power are you looking to achieve?

I assume you have the adapter plates to make the blower work on a 5.3?
