Ok, so now the question- What general kind of cam should you use in a
turbo engine? 
With Turbo or Supercharging can you get away with a stock cam?

To add to this topic- it seems to me that another limitation to 
supercharging is that, being belt driven, you're limited to placing the 
supercharger 'in line' with the front of the engine. This can create
the affore mentioned hood clearance problems with top mounted supers, but
many engines/compartments don't have room for the side mounted 'paxton' 
style supers either. 
Now of course anything can be fabricated, but it seems that
turbos are more easy to tuck away in a limited area.
Which brings up this question- how far down stream in the exhaust system
 would be the maximum limit to plumb in a turbo?
