Default 600hp turbo ls1 cam?

I'm shooting for 600 hp with a gt45. Before I get tuned what cam should I go with?

What kind of gains would I get from a cam on a setup like this?

You can make 600hp with the stock camshaft and that turbo.

An aftermarket cam will move more airflow at the same amount of boost as a stock cam. Meaning more power on the same amount of boost until the turbo can no longer efficiently supply the airflow the engine is demanding.

An aftermarket cam can help with spool time and it can increase the operating range of the engine, but mating the camshaft to the combination and more specifically the turbo is very important.

Is this a 5.7 LS1 engine?

I'd still talk to Martin. After you do, you'll understand why.
