Default Turbo cam with lope

I'm almost done with putting together my 6.0L for my turbo setup in my 98 TA. I am down to the cam selection.

I am running a stock LQ9 shoftblock that's been freshened up, 6.0L heads that have been 3-angled and ported, and a ported TB.

70mm turbo

I know lopey cams are not something that go together with turbos, which is why I ditched the old LS1 cam I had, but I really don't want my car to sound stock. It is already loud and obnoxious, I really want it to hit a little lick.

Obviously I don't want to leave anything on the table as far as power so I can get a good sound, but surely there is a turbo cam that hits a little bit.

Any recommendations?

a proper turbo cam is way different than a proper blower cam.

on street engines with properly sized turbos a lopey cam is not desired. this will cause slow spool.

I am using the MTI R1 cam in my car. It's pretty choppy and I don't have any issues with spooling my gt88 on my 347. I wanted the EPP cam but knew someone that ordered it and the cam was ground wrong...didn't want to take that risk so I just spent $120 on this cam.
