If I were to supercharge, or turbo what type of cam should I look at?
Currently I have a GMPP #14097395 Came with the crate engine.

Specs are:

Cam Style Hydraulic roller tappet
Intake Duration at 050 inch Lift 196
Exhaust Duration at 050 inch Lift 206
Duration at 050 inch Lift 196 int./206 exh.
Advertised Intake Duration 288
Advertised Exhaust Duration 308
Advertised Duration 288 int./308 exh.
Intake Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.431 in.
Exhaust Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.451 in.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio 0.431 int./451 exh. lift
Lobe Separation (degrees) 109
Camshaft Gear Attachment 3-bolt
Intake Valve Lash 0.000 in.
Exhaust Valve Lash 0.000 in.

This is all assuming I have enough fuel to feed it, probably a Marine intake, larger injectors, and a tune.
Anyone know?

I am hearing that the 109 lobe separation isn't a good thing for supercharging, unfortunately, it's what I see from GM on their 383's, anyone know about this, or have a Cam suggestion??

You want a cam with at least 114 lobe separation angle. I'm not sure of the exact specs. but the factory Corvette LT4 cam would probably work well. I was going to use it in my Tahoe before I sold it. You can find the cam specs, online.
