Default supporting mods for a 4.8l supercharged

i have a 2004 tahoe with a 4.8L in it, i just purchased a radix supercharger for it, i was thinking about putting a cam in it when doing the supercharger, what cam and what other mods would be recomended for a daily driver/ some towing (3200lb 87 grand national with a 2300lb trailer), and some light track duty with the truck

thanks guys

oh yeah its an intercooled radix

and the truck presently just has a JBL catback with the JBL muffler replaced with a SLP shotgun resonator, and OBX shorty headers

the later model LS6 cam seems to be a popular one for the 4.8L / Radix crowd

I suggest a 6.0. It bolts right in and it looks like you really need the low end. I swapped for under 1400.00

Some long tube headers will work well also.
