Default Playing around with idea of Cam to go with my LS6 Heads/Intake and STS Turbo.....

So for running light boost on an STS with heads and intake, what would I be looking for? I still have the stock bottom end but the cylinders and whatnot still look good, so I'm playing around with the idea of a decent boost cam, what should I look for? I don't want to spend a billion dollars either....
thanks

I talked with the STS rep about 3 months ago. My cam specs are Crane 216/224 .551 115lsa with ported heads that flow 290 @ .550 , The rep said thats a great combo for the 5-7 psi base kit would probably put me around 520rwhp , then if I upgraded too intercooled it would be close to 600rwhp
the 216/224 is considered the blower cam I would think anything with larger exhaust would be great for a turbo. But the midrange torque should be really nice
