Default how much are S/C benefitted by a small blower cam?

are the gains from using a blower cam THAT much greater than stayin stock? reason i ask is because most blower cams are on teh mild side and was wondering if the S/C exponentially upped the power, thansk!

We see an easy 50 rwhp gain with a good blower camshaft. Bob

I gained 62rwhp with nothing more than a cam swap.

Blower cam on a blower equipped car, on my Mustang Chassis Dyno. More power can sometimes be seen on an unloaded type of chassis dyno, such as a DynoJet. To go from 450 rwhp to 500 rwhp with just a cam change is pretty impressive! Bob

the real trick is getting lower compression heads come supercharger/turbo time... like truck 6.0L heads... I'd say it's even more important than the cam up front.... just put on 1 7/8" headers if you are planning on supercharing in the future.
