Default SC/Head/Cam

Ok guys, going to order my supercharger today. What Cam/Head Combo should I go with? It will be on a stock bottom end for now.

I would use a set of Trick Flow heads, Stock intake, and a 224/236 camshaft.

Boost and stock bottom end do not mix. On top of that you will have heads and cam. Do yourself a favor and buy some forged pistons

383 is being built (For Boost), I have been told by many people that they have been pushing 5-7psi on a stock bottom end no problem.
