Default whats a good cam to do with a procharger?

Okay im and still trying to decide if i should do an LS2 swap with a big cam in it or i am debating on putting in heads w/big cam and a procharger. So my question is what is a good cam to go with a procharger? I was thinking of doing the LE2 package but someone suggested that the cam would overlap too much for the procharger. SO where is a good place to look for a custom cam to be done and should i still go with the LE2 heads or is there a good place to look for some aftermarket heads?

Stock bottom end + heads/cam/blower = If you do decide to go that route for whatever reason, get some ported trickflows to lower the compression and the thicker deck height.

okay ive been doing some research and from what ive read the LT1's dont do so well with boost, if you go above 6psi you will put a lot of strain on the pistons and break seals, so i think for now im going to get the LE2 head/cam package with a good tune and put money away for and eventually put a charger on an LS2 engine.

I ran 9 lbs of boost for 2 years and it was at the track every weekend, it just depends on how everythign is set up, you cant have any detanation or it will crack a ringland, you just need a good tune and a good evac system made up.
