Default aggressive cam selection for lq9 and 317 heads?

So I'm missing the g6x3 sound from my ls3 I had. Well I no longer have it but have a lq9 with 317 heads. As far as I know its stock piston with stock 317 heads and not milled. I do plan to add a supercharger here in a year or so but missing that tough lope. Is there any cam I can get that will improve my na power with an aggressive or fairly aggressive lope that won't absolutely kill boost potential when I get a supercharger. I don't expect the na cam to be perfect with the supercharger but would still like it to work fairly decent when I do finally add the supercharger. I've also heard lq9 pistons have no valve reliefs...so would that make it impossible to get a cam with an aggressive or fairly aggressive lope with decent na power gains with the stock 317 heads? Thanks for any help.

Here's what I would do: Get the proper cam for the supercharger that you'll be running, then get a cutout...problem solved

Definitely a good idea...I planned on getting an electric cutout...I'd still like to get me more power though with a decent na cam during this fairly long wait for a supercharger. When I had the ls3 I had a g6x3 cam and people still made really good power with a supercharger although it was not a "supercharger" cam

There is a Bullet 230/240 on a 114 in the for sale section. I'm not affiliated in any way other than the fact that if someone doesn't buy it, I will to put on the shelf for a later build.

That will suit your need.
