A supercharger will absorb some of a cams driveability. It mostly depends on how much you're trying to accomplish. You'll definitely pick up a lot of power though. At least 50-75 rwhp. If you want help designing/picking the right one, give me a call. I'll help you out...

I have a 230/230 114 cam that I spec'd myself using Comp Cams lobes. Drivability is just fine, and it has a nice mild lope to it. It was probably worth an easy 40-50 rwhp most likely.
My current shift points are 7,000 rpm with this cam, pulls great with the Magna.

I've been on the fence about this for a while now... and with George now looking to step up... well, the peer pressure is making me want to cave. 
NineBall - did you have a dyno compare vs stock w/Maggie? I was curious if a cam change might compromise power on the bottom end?
Thanks.

I would suggest a "blower" cam from Lingenfelter or Callaway. They have custom grinds specifically for Maggy applications. From what I have seen a blower cam makes a big difference in net and mid-range HP
