Default Boost cam recommendations for my setup?

I'm looking to do a boost specific cam on my car over the winter. I have pretty minimal cam knowledge so i'm looking to any recommendations or advice on a decent cam for my setup. I want to retain good driveability so nothing too huge I would assume.

The setup is an LS6 block (stock bottom end), stock 243 heads, .650 valve springs, LS6 intake, TC78 turbo with .96a/r, meth injection. If you guys need any more info feel free to ask. It's also a 6spd car with Monster Stage 4 clutch.

I'd like to see around 700whp when said and done, right now i'm running 13psi and 18 degrees of timing with methanol and 93.

Thanks ahead!

speed inc's TU1 or TU2 arent bad, although i think the TU2 is for larger motors, cant remember. Brutespeeds blower cam works well too. you will have no issue hitting 700 at 13lbs/18* i made 630 on 9-10lb/ 20* with stock 853 heads

Thanks man, i've heard good things and have been looking at the Brute Speed blower cam. I haven't really found anyone who wasn't happy with it.

Like I mentioned when it comes to cam specs i'm a complete newb so any advice anyone might have would be great

Brute speed cam is more of a centuri blower cam then a turbo cam. Id look into something with a reverse split for a turbo.

You turbo isn't the best for your cid. Nothing wrong with it, just not a good match.
A 76mm S trim would be a better turbo. But is still a tad small on the turbine.
Then you'd want a TU1.
For your current turbo or a 76GTS, a 224/220 114+2 .550 to .580 lift cam would work well. Much smaller than that and you might as well run a stock cam unless you want some thump.
Most guys with the TC series are happy with an .550 lift LS6 cam.
