A good mild cam to compliment the Magnacharger is the Lingenfelter GT2-3. With the 6.0, you can go with higher durations too. Basically if you want to supercharge, you'll want a cam with a lower intake duration and higher exhaust duration with a wide LSA around 116-118. The Magnacharger setup is great for someone who wants a bolt on kit with minimal tinkering and for someone who isn't extremely knowledgable with how the systems actually work. And yes, it's will work with a set of headers..go with long tubes.

Im still trying to learn and always looking for good advice so thank you very much. Il check those guys out then, and you would go with the long tubes then? with them you have to redo youe entire exhaust? Im guessing that i should do cam, headers, then the charger last? would you recomend any internal engine work with that? iv seen that some people get new springs with a cam and do some other work.

How about a turbo?
Trick performance and KBRacing both have kits around $3000-3500ish.
