You could if you wanted to. They tend to lose some boost with the aggressive n/a cams due to overlap. Btr red hot would be a better paired cam. Similarly sized. Just more suited for a centrifugal.

You're gonna want the intercooler. The procharger gets pretty hot so having a way to cool the air is absolutely necessary unless it's a carburated engine, which even then it's still preferred. I put a TorqStorm on my Avy and I might step up to a bigger intercooler if I wanna break past 600WHP

Why were you manually shifting it? If it's not making the shifts when commanded, you need to polish up the trans tuning. The blue cat trans tuning tool works wonders. My truck with a 4l80 nails the shifts every time and still has torque management at 800+ wheel. Great video none the less.
