Default Hot Rod Cams + Supercharger....

How do the Hot Rod cams fair with a supercharger? I'm putting a Saleen VI supercharger on my car next weekend (thanks to redvertstang!!) and I was wondering how the FRPP Hot Rods are going to fair.

As long as they're better than stock, I think i'm going to stick with them. I don't want to spend another $700-$900 for cams and $400 for installation if I don't have to. Yea, I should have thought about this last year when I put in the cams, but I still LOVE the way they sound and they give my NA stang some *****. Just wasn't enough though.

The Hot Rods are just fine, they were designed for NA and FI use that's why you don't get as much power with them as other brands that are strictly NA or FI, however they will run just fine with any positive displacement blower.

BTW: When did the USMC start using the term infantry? Wasn't that for Army?

Yea, now my next dillemma:

The Saleen S/C says it doesn't need an upgraded fuel pump with the 5psi pulley and still pulls down ~400rwhp. Well, thats on a bone stock GT. I'm at ~350rwhp with my mods, so I'm thinking the Saleen will put me around 480whp or so which means I'm getting VERY close to my fuel pumps limits...any input? I'm thinking about a KB Boost-a-pump...

The KB BAP will do the job just fine. At your hp levels don't waste your money on high dollar pumps.
