Default cam

I would give the person who installed the blower or the tuner a call and see what they say. You could tell them what you expect and they can pick the cam for you.

Definately go with an aftermarket cam that will compliment your Procharger. Nothing to extreme if you don't want. Talk to your tuner and ask what cam he would recommend for the desired hp and tq your looking for. The stock cam would be a waste of labor time and money with little gain. Trust me I have changed alot. You can also call Procharger or a tuner shop in your area and they should have one you can buy already set up.
