Default Please advise cam for my setup

Probably 10000th topic of this kind but I have to ask for advice
Car is 383ci 4" stroke LS1, 9.2:1 CR, Patriot heads, LS6 intake
4L80E with 3500stall, 3900lbs daily driver
turbo is TC78 but plan to upgrade to smth. slightly bigger, (PT7675, T7875 or maybe PT88).
During run engine spends most of it's time around 6200rpm, but probably I should spin it a bit higher

Which cam should I get?
P.S. I love that choppy sound that is lost with turbo, but maybe there are cams that have more of it without sacrificing performance?

Anyone?
Should I do custom grind, or just buy off the shelf cam?
Already discussing spec with Martin (Tick) but would like to read some more info

Custom grind or just follow Martin's advise.

You mean Martin's advice. Sorry, get tired of seeing it this word used incorrectly.
