super chargers usually like wider a LSA.if you want the most out of a super charger get a cam designed for a super charger.what is your static compression ratio ?

Wouldn't that depend on the supercharger and application? All I know for sure is that yes that cam will run with a supercharger but whether a positive displacement type or centrifugal type is really where it matters.

I'm no expert by any means but my un-informed logic would tell me that:
-Narrower LSA would increase down low power even more w/ a PD supercharger
-Wider LSA could help a PD supercharger not starve up top (probably not an issue too much anymore with new tech but some people believe PD are only good up to a certain point in the RPM band
-Wider LSA would be better to couple with a centrifugal because power would peak later.

Most I see run 8*- 10* more exhaust duration than intake duration and a 115-117 lsa.

Good luck with that one lol,not saying it cant be done but it wont be cheap,unless they came out with a kit but last i heard that idea was killed by whipple sometime ago,procharger would be a much easier option

Yep. There are no whipple options for our car. You'd have to cut the cowl and do other modifications to retrofit one for another vehicle

Procharger or cam? You'd want either a P1SC or a D1SC procharger.
