Default Good Cam For Supercharger ?

I'm soon going to buy a Vortech S-trim supercharger kit for my 95 cobra and I want to do a camshaft swap before I install the kit. I want something thats not too high in lift but is still going to have a good lopey sound and have a good powerband. I was thinking of these cams below, tell me which will be best and if there is a better cam than I listed.

Ford E303 (good low end torque, .530 lift with 1.7 RR's)
Ford F303 (more top end power, .544 lift with 1.7 RR's, heard its the best cam for boost)
Steeda #19
Trickflow Stage 1

Will the F cam clear the stock pistons ? I know it does on the 87-93 years but not sure about the 94-95's.This car does have the stock cobra 1.7 RR's.

How much difference in power will the car have over the stock cam. It has the GT40 intake and heads on it allready so it should make quit a bit of a difference right?

If you want a camswap then look on like comp cams or crane cams site for specific supercharger cams. Other then a cam that is specifically for superchargers the stock cam is best.. Good luck

Custom cams are the best way to go for a blown car. However, Im running the Trickflow on mine and it seems to work well with the supercharger. Plus it sounds good
