Default Blower cam for a 408

What would be a good blower cam for a 408 stroker? Sorry to ask, but I am not that familiar with FI setups.

How much lift? I was thinking of going with a custom grind with XE-R lobes 239/251//578/601//114.

Supercharger or turbo?

What will be the rev limiter?

Speed Inc had a really good one their shop car, you'd have to call them and ask for the specs. They had a really big one originally, but they didn't like the power it was making so they switched to a smaller one with duration in the 230's and a 115 LSA. It gained about five pounds of boost and 60 rwhp over what they had. You really don't need to go crazy with the cam with a blower on a motor that big.

Supercharger. Currently my rev limit is at 7000 rpms, but this is a high compression setup with a 229 cam in a 383. Since I am keeping the same size stroke, but going with bigger pistons, I would imagine that the rev limit will decrease because of the high piston momentum.
