Would an LT1 cam work well with TPI?

I am doing a TPI swap soon on my L03. I have a LT1 cam that I bought before I got my hands on the TPI system. I currently have the peanut cam in my L03 so I was wondering if the LT1 cam would be good in a TPI induction 305 (the engine will also have Vortec heads which I also already own) as compared tosay an L98 cam?

thanks

Yes, the LT1 cam works wel in the 305 TPI in place of the peanut cam. If you had the better 305 cam to begin with it wouldn't be worth changing(not much of a difference) but since you have the peanut cam, an LT1 cam will be a very good replacement.

I replaced my L98 cam with a 96 LT1 cam,and a set of 1.6 roller tips,and it was a definate improvement.Even if you had the L98 cam it would be worth it.
