Default Cam w/ centrifugal supercharger

If I want good vacuum, idle and gas mileage, what cam specs should I look for to maximize power while not ignoring the previous requirements?

Here are some cams I think might be a good fit:

GM 12565308 204/218 0.550/0.550 117.5
Comp 54-535-11 210/218 0.513/0.507 115
Lunati 55002LUN 212/221 0.510/0.510 116

I took a look at these suppliers.
ECS Blower cam 220/220 0.580/0.580 ???.?
EnglandGreen specs not specified
Brutespeed centrifugal S/C cams are Comp brand cams
For a S/C, I thought the intake duration could be shorter because intake air velocity is much higher and more dense than N/A. I'm suprised ECS's blower cam has equal duration intake and exhaust.

Comp has centrifugal S/C cams, but they are all really high duration with lots of overlap. I'd guess these would have poor idles, poor gas mileage and not much vacuum (poor brakes).
Comp 54-477-11 227/243 0.614/0.624 114
Comp 54-478-11 235/251 0.621/0.624 115
Comp 54-479-11 243/259 0.624/0.624 116

looks pretty similar to the Comp 54-477-11

227/243 0.614/0.624 114

how is your idle and fuel economy?

I would use the Comp grind out of these 3.

I've been running a Comp set for c blowers in my 32V since '07. Idles @950 with a great lope, no vacuum problems and 563WHP...they were great to work with on application. For what it's worth...oh yes, a 4:10 with a Viper 6 spd, 24 MPG at 70 on cruise control...10 around town, who can keep their foot out of it?

* EnglandGreen Mayhem II Cam™ : formally our Mayhem Cam™, but now completely redesigned - and much larger! Duration is in the low 240s range.
* EnglandGreen Whiplash II Cam™ : Best Seller!! Duration in the mid 240s/mid 250s and extremely aggressive.
* EnglandGreen Chaos II Cam™ : formally our Chaos cam™, but completely redesigned and significantly bigger. Duration is in the mid 250s
* EnglandGreen Black Rage Cam™ : Our latest creation. For use only in big cubic inch motors. Duration is in the high 250s/low 260s duration
* EnglandGreen Insanity Cam™ : This cam is for the seriously mentally disturbed among us. Duration is in the low 270s

I ran their Mayhem II cam. Not a bad cam in my Z06, but no way I would run one again. I liked it at the time, until I learned about what makes a car go fast. A dyno is not part of it. If a tuner has never made a 1/4 pass, then I would advise not going with that cam.

I speced my own blower cam myself, and while not the best, it does the job on only 12psi.
