Default 2004 GT cams and pistons?

Hi guys I have a 2004 GT with a KB 1.7L supercharger I am curious would it be smart to add cams first then see what hp I'm at then add forged internals or do it all at once?
Thanks guys!

It would be wise to add the forged internals first.

I would assume you're putting down close to 385-400 to the rear wheels. Adding cams will more than likely take you to the limit of your SB. School boy hit it on the head. Get your block forged before you add cams.
