which cam I am building a forged 370 with advanced induction 243s and work 88mm 1.32 t6 turbo,4l80e 3600 stall 3900# 4.10 gears .I have 2 cams on the shelf collecting dust which would be best of the 2? I know a custom grind would be best but if I had to run 1 which would it be.

Out of those 2 I'd say the first one. I run a cam almost identical to the second one you have listed, and with about 15 degrees of overlap I'm not so sure it would work very good with higher amounts of boost

I agree with #1. Turbos with good flowing heads just don't need a lot of cam. There is an argument for the second one though. With a T6 turbine carrying a 1.32 AR, you shouldn't back up too bad on back pressure. Some really good builders say to cam your engine like its NA, as long as you run good stuff with low exhaust restriction.
