Default need turbo cam recommendations

I am putting a STS turbo kit on my 6 liter. The turbo is a GT67 which I am told is good for about 750 crankshaft hp. Obviously I want to squeeze as much power as I can out of this combo. I have a set of stage 2 heads from ET Performance, and I need a cam recommendation. I really would like to stick with a smooth idle/gas mileage friendly cam. I am thinking LS6 but which one would work best with a turbo....the 2001, or the newer ones?

Are there any other off the shelf cams that would work well with the turbo? TIA.

For a turbo application you need a single pattern cam on 112-114

go look in the forced induction section, from what ive read the 02-up LS6 cam is pretty good.

The LS6 cam will work fine. If you use it, I would get the '02 and up.
You may also think about something a little bigger; 228/228 on a 114.
