Default procharger with current cam?

ive searched for a couple hours and found some great info, but still have some questions. i know that the higher the LSA (114+) will make more power. im wondering how the cam in my sig would work with a blower? is the lift way to high for FI? my numbers with this cam minus the ported TB and ASP pulley were 398rwhp 375rwtq. if it is ok to add a blower with this cam, at 8# of boost, how much more power would i be looking at? if it is stupid to go FI with this cam and have to change it for a different one, i might as well get a great set of heads and a big *** cam instead (would be alot cheaper and i'll have more money for other mods). i planning on hopefully doing some kind of big mod for next summer. please give me some advise and info to help me decide what i should do.

That cam will be fine.... the split is just like you want.... the lift is not to high..... Look at mine.... 230/236 .598/.608 but on a 114 +4.
With 8 psi you should be around 500-520 rwhp but thats just a guess using 15 hp per pound of boost...... go for it and just make sure you buy a good fuel pump and a good set of injectors big enough from the start to do 500rwhp..... i would say just go with a set of Motron 60# ers and make sure you have the car tuned on the dyno and do it whith a wide band.... i cant stress the tuning enough....
