Default blower cam?

I have a procharger on my trans am looking to put a cam in this winter. Looking for advise on a cam. I have stock heads with jesel 1.8 roller rockers with patriot valve springs. I want a cam that sounds good but has good streetability. Its mostly a street car. What cam do you recommend or should i get a custom comp cam.

Will that cam work good with the 1.8 rockers and should the 7.4 push rods be the right length still

Yes it will work with 1.8 rockers, but I would check for correct pushrod length. Bob

the ls9 cam is very similar to an ls6, and yes its great for boost setups but not quite as ideal as a custom grind or Bob's cam for instance. youd be leaving power on the table with ls6 or ls9

I put a Lingenfelter GT2-3 into my GTO before installing a P1. Got a little off the cam even N/A. It's mild, but was a good choice for my daily driver
