Default Turbo cam help please...

So I'm building a twin turbo ls1 and I would like some input from you guys as to what cams are good for turbo motors. The bottom end will remain stock for now and the heads are going to be changed to lower the compression. I'm still undecided on what heads I'll be using.

if you bought a new aftermarket heads, you could almost buy a set of aftermarket dished piston, and forged rods, and have your bottom end built. for your cam you need to give us a little more information, turbo sizes, intake, weight of car, and overall goals.

buy a lq4. you can find one complete at junkyards with about 30000 miles for around 700-800 dollars if not i know where one is for 800 and could ship it for 70 dollars. it will have 9.4:1 compression, and have great 317 heads on it, boost it to about 15lbs on the stock engine, and buy a linenfleter gt2-3 cam.
