which cam would be better
I'm getting ready for a few more mods on my 86 L98. I have Longtube headers that are getting ready to go to JetHot and am upping my gears from 2.59s to 3.07s. I'm also switching to 1.6RRs in May. I plan on supercharging either at the end of the summer or next spring. Would it be better to go with the hotcam or Accel/LPE 219 cam?

LPE has another cam made for SCs, there are also other grinds that suit it better.
If you were putting on a SR, then the 219. If an MR, then the Hotcam, but neither is best suited for a SC.

Make sure you buy a camshaft made specifically for a supercharged engine. Most of these cams will have a larger LSA to compensate for the torque curve of the supercharger.
