Are you planning go or show mods?

If it's some additional power, then probably gears, UDPs, aluminum DS...

LT's would be ok but if you can swing it, do LT's with cams. That combo works well together like a CAI & tune.

Get a tune and figure the rest out later, that alone will make a huge difference even over what you have now.

Many NA cams will still work fine with a supercharger.
They wont give you QUITE as much power as blower cams will but they give you
to opportunity to enjoy NICE power gains now before you go F.I.

If you do not plan to go F.I. for a good while, my advice would be
gears. Then I would do long tubes so that either your super charger, or cams both get the max benefit they can.

Either way.... supercharger then cams later.... or cams then supercharger later, will BOTH benefit from those nice breathing long tubes.

Dont worry yourself too much about getting blower cams or not.
If you want the cams first for some reason GO FOR IT!
You will be fine with a normal set of cams either way.
Both the Hot Rod Cams and the Detroit Rockers will work with a supercharger.
Even if the Rocker cams are not the blower version.
