If I recall the superchager cams are not much different than either the stage 1 or stage 2 n/a cams, i forget which one tho.

So i don't think it would be terrible, other issue is you would need to get it re-tuned to get it to run right with the cams.

The "Supercharger" cams are just the N/A Stage 1 intake and N/A Stage 2 exhaust cams. With a tune i'd image you might see 5-10hp gain. Remember you NEED to upgrade your valvesprings with any of comps cams.

People have had good luck with Supertech 78lb valvesprings(i actually have a set on the way from THmotorsports.com). I have to blower cams too.

Yes people will say that you can run stock springs and that they have. But there is a post somewhere on JBO where they measured the coil bind of stock eco springs and they were not even close to the lift of comp's smallest cams.

You could put them in a while. I would stay out of full throttle situations until its tuned, and tuning it for something that it will not be is a waste of time.
