Default thoughts on cam choice

Been looking at a few cams for my build. I'm doing a tc76 on my stock 6.0 with a m6. I'm shooting
For 700rwhp and I want something with a little chop at idel. The cam I'm looking at is
226/232 duration .578/586 lift on a 115 lsa. You guys think this cam should work good? Idk but it seems like it would.car is a roll race car if it matters.
Thanks joe

Well normally you don't want much overlap with a turbo. Exhaust vs. intake split and lsa are the main determining factors in creating overlap or negating it. Splitting the exhaust 6 degrees from the intake is a good split, but with the 115 lsa it will help keep the overlap down, but will still create a nice noticeable idle due to the exhaust split. Should work nicely and still have great manners. My 227/224 114 has almost no chop unless it's cold once it's warmed up it's nice and stealthy.
