Depends on what the rest of the combo looks like.

Share that and a better opinion can be formed.

Turbo or Supercharged? Some say if the cam makes good power NA it will make good power boosted. But more seem to side with keeping the numbers the same on the exhaust and the same on the intake side of the cam with the LSA between 112 and 114? If you want the motor to last. It needs to be built to handle boost. Don't get me wrong you will be ok on the stock stuff for a little while. Depending on how hard you pushed it.

I think the cam would work well in a blower car but is not good for a turbo car. Also that turbo is a little small for a 6.0

that turbo with the .96 ar housing will work great with the 6.0 and have almost instant spool. If you aren't going for the horsepower record, then stick with that turbo.
