I'd run the 8# lower with a stocksize non-slip head pulley from riechard racing, Long tube headers as previously mentioned; also I'd recomend at least port and polishing the heads and lower manifold, upper plenium, swap to '97 f-150 fuel rails and better fuel pumps.

if you haven't allready done so now would be the perfect time for a valvebody in the trans and a better converter.

as far as the cam goes, the low lift stage 2 supercharger specific cam from crower looks like a pretty good street cam but I would call them and discuss your goals and uses with them and let crower recomend a cam for you.

congrats on the build

Do ported heads wile it's out of the truck. If not,,,you'll be sorry later that you didn't.

Unless you already have the ported blower,,I would sell it and get a used 2.3 KB or Whipple.
