Default Heads and Cam with Supercharger?

I ran across some Heads for my 5.3 on www.arlingtonmotorsports.com

Stage II heads feature 2.02/1.57 valves
Stage III heads feature 2.05/1.57 valves

Includes:
new Ferrea valves, Comp dual springs, titanium retainers, new locks, and new GM seals.

I was thinking about about a cam somewhere around:
208/212 duration at .050"
500/500 lift exhaust/intake at .050"
LSA 113

My question is, can I get this head/cam combo and use any kind of supercharger? I know you have to get the computer tuned. I had in mind a
procharger, but was wondering if these heads and cam would work with other brands like: Magnacharger, Whipple, or Kenne Bell? Please help.

The cam specs will be alittle different dependent on the time of S/C you run, centri or a roots. I also would be careful about some heads because they are normally milled to increase compression. Check out my post below on my truck.

Whipple doesn't seem to get to adventurous at times <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

I would go with the Procharger or Vortech with your mods. Those manufacturers lean more towards racing while Whipple is designed for stock to very mildly modded vehicles.
