TPI 350 with supercharger combo what cam should i use??

heres my combo

350 4 bolt main block
alum vortec heads valves good to .600 lift alves 2.02 int 1.6 exhaust
edlebrock lower intake
rest of intake up is stock
Vortec supercharge will be added running low psi around 5-6 once engine is broken in

My problem is im not all that good with cams the dur / lift ect .. now im wanting to know what came would be best to use for this combo and will it be ok to use without the supercharge while i break in the engine?

For that combo, crane cams part# 113801 is the cam you want...blower friendly 114 lsa for minimal overlap, good exhaust lift and duration that blower motors like a lot. I think that cam will be perfect for you...lots of low end torque and still makes enough vacuum for your power brakes and such.

that comp grind would make a great blower cam too but i don't think he'd have enough heads to flow with that cam.
