CMS stage 2.5 blower cams!

im gonna say close to 50hp over stock AFTER YOU ARE SUPERCHARGED Thats a rough estimate and has alot of variables.

id just go blower first.

^^^ +1

A blower is one of those mods you should get first. Thats because you can further build your car around the blower....but not with cams

i'd save $$$ and do them both at the same time... from the sounds of it, you wont be doing the install yourself. For the labor rates of about $90 an hour (around here anyway for a reputable shop), why pay for them to install your blower and probably +$300 (at least) for a tune, just to tear it all down in 6 months or whatever, to install cams, reinstall blower and another expensive re-tune.

just my $.02
