Default cam question

i have a 2011 silverado that im planningon supercharging in thenext few months, but at the moment im lookin at a cam, possibly... i want a little bit of lope in it, nothing wild! but it needs to work well with the magnacharger tvs1900. do all cams need the lifters and springs installed or can thecamjust be installed itself ?

I heard this cam on YouTube and it sounds pretty good it's a 231/235 .617/.620 so I don't need any pushrods or anything just the stiffer springs even with DOD

.650 lift is for a race motor...anything over .550 on stock heads is counterproductive.

edit: and the cam you saw on youtube is WAY too big for a 4.8
