Default Has anyone tried a solid roller cam with a supercharger???

I was just curious if this would be feasible. I mean with a good heads/solid roller cam set-up and adding a supercharger, such as the ATI Procharger, even be worth it over a regular heads/hydraulic roller set-up with supercharger???

Just asking some questions...

It's been done a million times on other cars. Why would it not work?

If the cam allows for higher VE then you will make more power /flow more CFM at a given boost level.

With regards to a FI setup the blower couldn't care less what kind of cam you have, etc. It only cares what the valves are doing. If they can do their job better then you make more power.

The only real issues would be as far as fitament - will the valvecover spacers (or taller valve covers) interfere with any of the supercharger componentry.
