Default Boost on a Crane 227 cam?

Bought a brand new stock LT1 block for my 94 Z28. I was planning to swap the following parts (already purchased) 1.6rr, 227 Crane cam, LE1 heads, LT headers and 3600 stall.

I now have the chance to buy a used 4.5lbs Powerdyne supercharger for $1000.00 with the 6lbs pulley included.

Question.....will putting these mods in help of hurt the boost. I have read a lot about flow and overlap and still do not understand it. Most of what I read says stock cam is the best choice. Its that still true with such a small cam, stock short block and low boost?

Thanx for the help.

if it's the 210-224 on 112 then it will be ok. You would be better off with 114 or higher but there is still negative overlap so it will be fine.

The cam is 210/224 .511/.553 114 LSA.

With the mods stated above and the powerdyne will I be in the 500 hp club (crank)?
