Default SC with cam

Hello all,
I bought my 2000 C5 a few months ago. Sometime in the future I'm planning to supercharging it, with an A+A kit, seems to be the best value unless I find a used kit for cheaper. I got my vette from a dealership and they had no info on the mods done, they didn't even know it was modded. Well there was a small sticker right near the front wheels, and I got in touch with a company that did work on my car. I was told a mild cam has been put in the car, but they couldn't tell me anything about the cam besides that. It also has LT headers and a Borla exhaust. They said it dyno'd to be 380rwhp. I was wondering if I could safely SC this considering it has a cam. I plan to run a conservative boost My goal is for 475-500rwhp. I'm already upgrading to a Monster stage 3 clutch right now, to handle any future mods. Any input and advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys.

vortech is what comes with the A+A kit, but if a magnacharger or something came across at a good deal I would pick that up too.

A mild cam, heck just about any cam, works great with a centrifical supercharger. With 7 or 8 psi of boost and a good tune, you'll be just fine. Bob
