What are your thoughts on blower cams before blower installed?
I'm going to do heads and cam this winter and then next winter add an ECS supercharger kit.
Do you think its a bad idea to go with a blower cam for roughly a year without a blower and what kind of power would you predict with Advanced Inductions worked 243 heads with a big blower cam?
I'd like to see over 420whp before I add the blower, but would prefer to see more like 450whp. Goal post blower is at least 650whp.

I did a blower cam on my 02z with stock heads, headers, and vararam, and ran it for maybe a year before adding the blower... it made right at 420rwhp n/a and yours will probably make a bit more with worked heads... I think it's a good idea, the car will still run good and probably keep you happy until you get to the point of installing the blower... the bad decision in my opinion is the company you intend on using, I made a bad mistake dealing with those guys... I strongly suggest doing your research into the differences in some of the kits on the market... after dealing with 2 different supercharger companies a&a is the only one I would recommend, their kit is designed better, the quality is much nicer, and their customer service (before and after the sale) is leaps and bounds better

If you don't mind, what issues did you have with ECS or why do you say that is a bad idea?
Again, thanks for the post/feedback.

just a horrible company that are quick to take your money but will leave you hanging afterwards and on top of that their kit isn't all it's talked up to be either... I'll have to pm you sometime because it's wayyyy too much to type out here
