I'd say that it's a fairly radical cam for a street driven 6 liter.

Isn't the range something like 2,500 - 7000?

Which Magnuson?
How much static compression?
How much boost?

With that cam, you'll probably see maybe 7lbs of boost unless you have a real crappy exhaust (might be a little more with exhaust restriction). Yes, that cam will work, but a much smaller one will make just as much power with far less drivability issues. I just ordered a new one for my 6.0L with maggie. I'm using an LSR cam (LSL lobes), but custom specs. I'm going with a 215/227 on a 116LSA. It will make just as much power (maybe more) than the cam you're considering and be a whole lot more fun to drive.

you could always have patrick G spec you a custom cam for your perticular setup for $25
I bet its way smaller than what your looking at!

That 224/230 is the cam I would go with if I was running a 6.0 with a magnacharger. Thats a great match in my opinion. I am running a 220/226 with my radixed 5.3 and would not have done it any other way!
