    I'll let you know about mine in a couple of weeks...

    You should be looking for a higher LSA. The intake charge is being pushed into the cylinder instead of being drawn by a vacuum. So you no longer need the scavenging that overlap creates. You want to get that exhaust valve closed earlier and build boost.

    Speak to Andy at PPP. They definitely have a grasp on these (IMO). I will also know for sure in a few weeks as to how it performs, but I have no doubt at all that it will be awesome.

    The proper valve events depend on whether you are wanting a cam for a supercharger or a turbo. One important thing is to not have too advanced of an intake valve closing point. This will raise dynamic compression and make it more difficult to high boost on pump gas.
