Default Cam + Supercharger

what kind of cam is suggested if i am planning on putting a supercharger in later on? i have seen where there are cams for supercharged cars but dont know if that means their only worth it when the car is already supercharged or you can use it and then supercharge later.

You can use blower cams now and put the blower on later. Just be sure youll actually be getting a blower in the future. Even the blower cams will benefit you A LITTLE.

Blower cams are always a good idea on a blown car. You will make more power at the same boost level. Worth the added cost??? Well, that is a whole other question. Either way, I am planning on a set.

blowers don't always stick out of the hood or even always sit on top of the motor. They're nothing but really powerful fans that push enough air so as to cause its pressure to rise (boost). Centrifugals are mounted just like an alternator or power steering pump... right in front of the motor.
