The Lingenfelter GT2-3 (207/220, .571/.578, 118.5) has been proven to work well with blowers. Excellent driveability also. http://www.lingenfelter.com/store/ls1-gt2-3.html

Others have used the 224/228 .581/.588 114 or 116 cam with success.

Good Idea, I plan on ported LS6 heads, LSX intake, GT2-3 cam, and ATI procharger. Should be one sick setup.

exactly what cam I was going to say, you could even go a little bigger than that but you might want to search the Forced Induction section, as there is lots of information over there

If I were you guys, I'd look at some 6.0L heads instead if you are planning to supercharge. With LS6 heads, you are going to be raising your compression. Hope you don't have a stock bottom end or plan on running much boost at all.
