You need to know if your gonna charge it or not. Best bet would be a custom cam either way.

You might like my cam, I went with it in case I decided to add boost down the road. Vinci XXX, 222/228 .551/.551 115. It is advertised as a blower cam. I make just shy of 380 to the wheels with a tune that needs work (11:1 AFR).

If you are really gonna supercharge it then I would go ahead and save for that and do it first, thats just a personal opinion though. You can always get a nice little blower cam first but I think FI takes precedence over a cam and is more important. Also, I will of course suggest that you go with a procharger when the time comes.
