Default supercharging.... would i need a new cam?

Thinking of supercharging the capri.... for sum crazy fun!
just wondering would the STD cams be suitable or would it be adviseable to find some turbo cams/forced induction cams to suit the forced induction rather than the N/A

Std cam would be fine depending on how much power you wanted.

N/A cams (standard or not) would be much better suited to supercharging than turbocharging because of the lack of back-pressure caused gas reversal.

as tabatha says depends on how much power and the rev band you want to use.
if you plan on increasing rev band then put cams in.
Anyways cams are the least of your worries ,you got to think of intercoolers ,comp ratio and things like that first.
