Default turbo cam needed?

so i'm about to put an sts kit on my gto and it already has a torquer 2 cam on a 112 and ported ls6 heads. Would i be better off leaving that cam in or switching back to the stocker? This is just until a get a turbo cam of course

I'm no cam expert. but i can't see that cam working real well with boost. ( that's why I am selling mine you should be able to sell the torquer V2 or trade it for another cam and not have to go stock) LS6 cams are cheap and better than a stock cam for sure for boost ( from dyno charts i've seen atleast.

on the APS site the LS6 engine made about 100 more Hp than the LS1. only diff is cam heads and intake ( for this purpos i know there are other differences.

Spray Goat I threw a stock LS7 cam in mine and it loves boost, and you can pick them up cheap on the vette boards.
