I know there is some sort of difference between the LS1 and LS7 cams but I think the C6 Z06 cam would be great.

LS7 cam won't work in an LS1, cam reluctor is missing.

Not ideally. The best turbo cam depends on lots of factors, but typically, you would not want a turbo cam with such a wide split between intake and exhaust. The LS7 cam is around 210/230 121LSA whereas a 427 turbo cam with tubular exhaust going to the turbos might like a single pattern cam in the mid to upper 220s with an LSA in the 115-116 range. These are of course generalities, but they're in the ballpark of what you're seeing make power.
