Default Motor Build

I think I've asked before, and I finally have all bills paid off, and I'm looking for a bit more power. I want to upgrade my cams because I want to have a built motor, and then put on a supercharger. I'm wondering what cams I should go with. Frpp Stage 2? Should I would with stage 2, or 3? or just 1? And what brand would be really dependable and reliable? Thanks guys...looking forward to hearing so I can start on this!

Now I have more questions and no one has answered! lol. I was looking at some online and there were some that said no springs required, recommended use with 3.73 gears, and for a blown car. Just wondering if I could get the blown set and run it without an sc yet? Do you really need 3.73's and whats the spring thing about?

You can run the FI grind cams before you get the S/C, I'm pretty sure, but you won't notice near as much in gains until it has the S/C. Probably not too helpful, but hopefully this will get a few other guys to post...

i would put the SC on first. you can run them 450-500 rwhp easy on the stock cams, i wouldn't recommend going too much over 450 on the stock internals, tho. then build the engine, or get a short or long block when you got some cash saved up.

True, you can reach the limits of the stock motor with just a s/c, so if you're adding that anyway, cams are probably a waste of time unless you're getting forged internals.
