It depends on engine size, desired RPM range, head port size, compression, blah blah blah.

Call Comp Cams, Erson, Crower, Crane, etc. They should be able to help you with what you want.

PS... be realistic with your combination! A camshaft can make or break a boosted car!

I agree that a cam may make or break a supercharged car! I have a l98 350, pushing 8lbs of boost, Afr heads and need to find a cam that will work with this combo.

Again...Call Comp Cams. 1-800-999-0853. Tell them EXACTLY what you have. Let them advise you on which cam to use. I could easily say Part number NX262H (218-230 @.050; .462-.480 lift) but if you end up not happy with it, then you'll blame me!

Let the experts choose the cam for you.

Jaydubb, Thanks for the number! I'll call tomorrow. I want a cam with very little duration since it is not necessary because of the blower. A friend has a gen 1 lightning with a blower and is running 204/214 @.50 with his AFR's and is in the 11's.
