get something like a TR214 or TR220 . the 214 is a 115LSA and the 220 can either be 112 or 114 LSA

I think that either LS6 camshaft (01 or 02-04, I'd chose the latter of the two) would be good for a supercharged application due to their split duration and wide lsa, and would be a good daily driver, although you could go a little more aggressive. Thunder Racing has a camshaft that works well in FI applications, but you'll need a higher stall converter as the powerband is from 2200-6800 RPM. Might be a little much for a daily driver. Here's the info as copied from Thunder's website:

Thunder Racing Custom Split Pattern Camshaft for Nitrous/Supercharger applications- 224/227 .563/.569 114 LSA (This cam will check in the 226 range on the exhaust lobe.) 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

Here's the LS6 cam specs FWIW:

01, 385 HP: 204/211 .525/.525 116 lsa
02, 405 HP: 204/218 .555/.551 117.5 lsa
