Default L92 Longblock + LSA Supercharger - Build Advice

So I just bought a L92 long block, only 9k miles on it. I am on some type of budget so I don't want to dump tons of money in that I don't need to for my goals. I want 650-700 crank for a street car, rare track days (road or 1/4). It's a 72 Camaro pro-touring so I don't want the "cheapest" build that hurts resale haha.

So with this combo can I just keep the stock VVT cam and still make my goals? I'm thinking overdrive balancer pulley from Texas Speed (that's a no brainer since I need to swap out the balancer anyways), maybe stock pulley on blower. Given the compression is 10.5 I think this should bring it up to 12-13 lbs of boost and be about as much as I want/need?

I'll use the ZL1 lid and a LS7 throttle body, mid length swap headers (for ground clearance).

So do I need a cam, should I just use a LS9 and drop VVT for ease of tuning? After springs and VVT delete that's about $450 (unless I can use LS6 or similar GM springs?). An upgraded VVT based cam/springs seems to cost at least $700?

Any injector recommendations, best bang for buck? I also will need a harness/ecm/tune. Thinking the LSA or 9 kit from GMPP with a good tune, anyone know one in Det area?

I also posted on ls1tech, but know there's some real good engine guys here.

Title edited - Cam chosen...looking for other advice later in thread. Went with a BTR stage III cam and VVT delete.
