Default NEED HELP! need cam for turbo 5.3L

hello, so im new to building the 5.3L and/or gen3 style motors. I am looking to buy a cam for the engine. I plan on turboing the motor hopefully 20-25 psi of boost. the cam i had in mind was a

LUNATI #20540504CSPK.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171011668141...84.m1423.l2648

it is a little more agressive then the ls6 cam. my overall question is what would be best cam to use in this application?
also the 5.3L has been bored over to standard LS1 size 3.905 and im running -16cc dish pistons with a stock crank and 6.125 rods.

one other question. would LS1 head gaskets be ok to run or is there something better to use with this bore. i was gonna run ls9 head gaskets but i believe the bore is 4" would they still work?!

their really isnt a "best" cam. i'd contact one of the vendors familiar with turbo builds and see what they would recommend for your setup
