Which one of those cams for a boosted 427? Iam currently rebuilding my 427 with low CR pistons ...etc. The engine will have ~9.0:1 CR. I haven't decided yet if Iam going to run a turbo or a supercharger. Planning to run 15 psi max.
I have the following cams in hand & have to choose one of them
-228/232 .588 .575 115 LSA
-232/236 .575 .578 114 LSA
Which one would you recommend? Thanks

No expert here, but the second one definatley looks like a blower cam. The first one looks more like a blower cam than a turbo cam to me as well. I'd decide if you're going to go turbo or S/C first.

Can't really decide now if I want to go with a Turbo or a Supercharger. This is mainly because I narrowed down my FI options to either the new Kenne Bell Twin Screw (newly released, rumored to have some bugs), or the APS Twin Turbo (released for the C6 & looks impressive, but C5 release time is Sep/Oct).
That's why for the time being I just want to finish up rebuilding my C5-R engine & put 2-3k miles on it before boosting it.
So basically, which one of those cams suits both option(blower or turbo) better?
