Default cam choice 416 stroker set up for boost

i currently have a 416 stroker being built , it will use ls3 cc heads with a 64cc chamber , diamond dished coated pistons ,forged block , compression will be 10-1 , planning on running a s/c on mild boost 6-8 lbs in the future but will drive it n/a for a while , is there a cam choice you guys would reccomend that would be mild enough for boost but would give good power n/a ?

im hoping to make 500rwhp and close to the same tourque

my mod list

vararam vrb2, power duct
ported fast 102
nw 102 tb
60lb fast injectors
2 inch primary headers , no cats , bb bullets

do you guys think i could still hit 500rwhp?

also a pat g tune

Soo your goal here is to run a cam that will work for you N/A and when you go boost correct? And you want 500RWHP N/A also as a goal correct?

yes , although if its not feasable i will swap cams when the supercharger is installed , ive read a few threads on small cams making big power in ls3 strokers and vice versa , if its a dumb question on my behalf please tell me ....... im no expert, i just want to go fast

If Pat G is tuning the car, why not discuss cams with him. I think I heard somewhere he knows a little about that topic..

Something along the lines of 230/242 .609/.615 115+3 will work great!

I'm running a 239/255-.625/.625-114 in my 416 that Erik's building for me. I think you'd be happy with this cam also if you haven't ordered already. It's streetable N/A and great for boost also made by COMP.
