Default Camshaft, valvesprings...supercharger

Ok question time...installing a new performance camshaft, valve springs, and retainers. Is this an ok thing to do on a supercharged application? Can't get a straight answer from the seller company. The cam I have on back-order is from ZEX, supposed to be the most powerful camshaft ever created for the 1996-2000 SOHC civic engine, bleh. Anywho my app is a 2000 Ex with a Jackson. Is this a worthwhile upgrade?

NA cams do not work well with supercharging. You'll want a mild turbo designed cam.
