Default Forced induction cam for 402 CI 8.5:1 engine

I know this is probably been asked before but all the threads i found were 347-370ci based cars.

I have a fully built 402 @8.5:1 comp w/AFR 225's. I'm looking for any and all suggestions on cam selection. I will most likely go with a F1 blower @ about 15-16psi or whatever I can safely push it to on pump gas. I would like a nice driveable cam but one that sounds good at idle, not stock sounding! Of course power output/driveability is first, sound/idle second.

Maybe Bob @ exotic could chime in here, I know they do lots of prochargers there. Just don't know if they have done any w/400+ ci.

My 224/230 on 115 seems to work fine for my 382.

Grab any fairly radical cam (230º @ .050 or so) and 114+ LSA cam and call it done... That thing aught to scream!

How about a 228/236 lift around .600 on a 116 LSA? What do some of you Supercharger guys think of this?

I've had good luck with a 232/238 -.600 lift on 114 durations. Real good drivability,lopey idle,and a real good midrange torque.
