Default cam/timing chain installation turbo related

Should advance or retard my cam when installing my timing chain set? It's a lq4, valvesprings, rod bolts, ls6 cam, pushrods, and tc78(1.15a/r t4) or should I just install it straight up.
For what its worth, I'm running a 3500 circle d converter, and will b running up to about 14 psi . Thanks in advance.

advancing the cam will add torque and quicker spool. top end will drop a little.

Guess it depends on your combo and what you like. Sometimes quicker spool can be bad thing. And sometimes as said you want that top end more.
I put mine in straight up. I have very fast spool up from bigger cubes and smaller turbos but two of them. I guess could have retarded the cam a bit but not into messing around on it.
