Turbo cam selection: Tick? I have a truck with a 6.0 swap and 4L80e. The engine has L92 heads and intake and some PRC valve springs. It is getting an S488 turbo with the 96mm exhaust wheel. The converter is a 3600 stall and it has 3.73 gears. I plan to use premium fuel and some methanol. What would be the best cam to use and why? I have been slowly putting this truck together for a long time so I want to make sure I get a good cam the first time. Thanks!

Don't need a big cam for a truck, especially with a L92 with an intake port you could nearly put your fist into. This will do everything you want and some.
I'd also be more than happy to discuss your cam with you on my personal cell number this weekend or on Monday or next week at the shop. Don't be a stranger!

I normally don't like rear mounts, but with a 408, a T4 turbo with a 97mm turbine wheel, .96 AR housing and a cam on the smaller side(237/237 114 iirc) it should run very well.

Nope, not for a 4" stroke 408. It's actually on the smaller side for a 408. I have 346-364 with cams nearly that big in them with S475-S480 turbos. Granted they are more track cars than street cars, but they're still "street" cars.
