Default Heavy A$$ Cam/Converter/Turbo Combo

Im looking for some advice on a really nice front mount turbo combination setup for the track.
Ive picked up a really nice set of hot side pipes with a T4 flange so that is already sorted

The car is a GTO (heavy *** sucker) with only 30,000 miles on it, which so far has:
- stock LS1 (346ci, LS6 manifold, stock heads)
- 4L60E auto
- 3.07 diff gears
- 3" true duals
- stock suspension (Ive got revalved 90/10s and drag bags here though)

So I need to pick a T4 turbo, a good converter and a cam to all work as a package.

Planned mods are to keep stock cubes and run a set of forged pistons, better rods and rod bolts. I'll run an SD tune also. The only other thing limiting me is I want to keep the 4L60E or go to a new 4L65E when I have to.

I was heavily leaning toward an A2A intercooler but might consider a A2W now after reading that other thread.

Apart from that, my options are open. Id love to hit a high 9 eventually

Whats the best path from here?

Give us a call, we can spec you the turbo for the setup. 9's are not a problem with the right unit.

So Im best off picking the turbo first, then get a converter made to suit, then getting a cam specced?

What size turbo could flow enough for my needs on a T4?

I was hoping someone had a combo that worked well that I could have a bit of a look at.

Ive been having a look at these 224/230 cams and also the SpeedInc 225/225 grinds.

TC78?
ST80?
S400-80 w/T4 flange?

Which of these would work more efficently?
What can I use to accomplish my goals?
