If it were me choosing a cam for your setup I wouldnt choose either one of those but I guess between the two I would have to go with the 216/220 on a 115 lsa but thats just my opinion.

Me personally I like the idea of having a bigger split between the intake and exhaust duration for a blower cam for instance the Vinci "Trucker" cam I recently sold that I had in my truck with a supercharger at one time was a great cam to run with a blower/supercharger. My truck ran like a raped ape with that cam and boost!

The specs are 216/224 551/551 115 LSA.

But their are alot of great cams out there that work very well with the Magnacharger, I just know that I was pretty happy with that 216/224.

I know that their are a number of guys running a couple of cams from Lingenfelter I believe? not sure on the specs right now but their is a couple of cams from them that respond very well to the Radix.

the LPE GT2-3 (207/220 .571/.578 118.5) seems to be the standard Magie cam, but I've been researching something a little more aggressive as well, but keep the LSA up and the duration split pretty wide. From what I've seen a little extra lift on the Exhaust side won't hurt either.
