Default Using a supercharger cam on a turbo setup

I have a custom a&a cam it's. 230/242 591/610. On 117 lsa. How do you all think this would work in a 6.0 with 243 heads with a 76mm turbo. Haven't bought anything yet just have the cam 6.0 and 243 laying around wondering of it was worth using.

Its kind of big IMO. You could run something a lot smaller and make good power.

Yea I had it was gonna use it for a Vette I had but sold it. Do you think the cam would work better for 243 heads or for ls3 heads. I have both sets. Right now the car had the lq4 with milled ls3 and a custom eps 226/234 598 601 on a 113+4 lsa . What setup would do better?
