Blower Cams, any info?

I searched found some older threads on them, but have not found anybody that has run them in a S/C L61. I plan on supercharging my 2.2 very soon, and thought since I have to get a tune etc, ill throw some cams in there... What do you think, is it worth it? Powerwise?

im going to...eventually. I want a built valvetrain first though, since the power range for that cam profile doesnt end until 7000. I want to be able to rev to 7500 regularly and reliably before buying the cams.

well, really all you need are upgraded valve springs, but im upgrading a few other things too. you dont need to upgrade the valvetrain before doing the cams, its just personal preference for me, because i want to take advantage of the higher RPM power they provide

First this is the 2.2 section end second i will be an m62 L61 when im finished. as stated in first post.. Im very curious myself what and how much the blower cam will help out. 06_Ion2 will let us know soon on a procharged car. So it will have the same positive affect(hopefully..) but just different numbers. but how much is the question. Im still looking for quite a few pieces for my project but within a month should be done.

I will have an lsj tb. I also would upgrade to a stronger valve spring just like hunter said to take advantage of revving to full potential of the cams.
