Another cam & boost question

Another cam & boost question
LM7 5.3 - stock internals and compression
Ls9 head gaskets
Head studs
862 heads - double springs
Holley mid ram intake
Forward facing headers
Fuel setup to run E85
S480 turbo - T6 96mm 1.32 exhaust housing - race cover
T56 transmission
2500lb car
Car isn't being built as a drag car. Would have went with a powerglide for that...
Car is being built as a highway monster. Honestly, a stock 5.3 will be a quite a bit of power in such a light car, so I really only need the turbo for added top end power.
3.55 rear gears currently, but may drop that to 3.30 at some point.
I feel like the lightweight car will let me get away with a larger cam that makes less low end power?
Car is just a weekend toy, no daily driving, but I would like it to be able to cruise down the highway at 70mph if needed.
Car will certainly have traction issues, even with drag radials, so perhaps that larger turbo will keep the torque number a little lower and help out in that department.
Eventually car will get a 370ci+ bottom end dropped into it.
Does anyone recommend anything in particular? Probably wind up going with tick stg2 turbo cam unless someone thinks there is something out there that might be better for this setup.

Thanks Martin. Is that a different Stage2 than what's on your website?
I'm seeing 231/231 .63x/.59x 115+5 on your website:
