Default Opinions on "turbo cam" vs Z06 cam in a 408

I currently have a 235/239-600/580-113+4 cam in my truck that was spec'ed out for my setup by Jones Cam Designs. I was reading Maximum Boost the other day and noticed that it says several times that there is really no better cam to run than a stock one for a turbo application. How would you guys compare the Z06 cam to the one I currently have? I know a lot of people love the 02+ LS6 cams in stock sized motors, but what about the 408?

too small

Your motor is not "stock" so a "stock" cam probably won't be ideal. Go big or go home.

Take everything you read with a grain of salt.....even maximum boost.

A stock Z06 cam in a 408 will limit you. The last turbo 408 I did had a Z06 cam and quite frankly it sucked. Now put a stock z06 cam in a 346 and it works OK.

I would run the cam you already have over a LS6 cam.You could get a better boost cam for your 408 but that cam you have wouldnt be bad
