Default Cam Question

So I am starting my Turbo build and not sure what cam I should run. I have a few laying around here that I could use, prefer to stay this route til I recoup some money.
So this is my set up;
Truck Manifold set up
BW S475 .96/1.32 t6
Stock LS1 bottom end (hotcam in it now but doubt that will work with turbo)
243 heads with Manley single springs and manley valves
Ls6 intake
walbro 400 pump
80# injectors
Going 80e not sure what convertor to go with but would match it to setup
9" right now has 4.10s but could go any ratio and would like to match it to setup
Have a snow meth kit
This is a list of cams I have sitting on the self
Hotcam
LS2/LS6
LS9
Trick flow 214/220 114
LEP Turbo cam
595 595 236 234 117LSA For turborcharger applications. 2200-7300 RPM Power Band.

I am guessing the LEP cam would be the way to go but dont wanna spin the ol shortblock to 7k

So what would you use from this list?

I would prob go with the 214/220 if it's around .550-.570" lift.

Being the compression is a little high and early rods better go the 114 lsa.

Sounds good, not really to worried if I hurt the bottom end have a few blocks laying around, just dont wanna spin in to 7k. Surprised that turbo cam isnt your pick. Once I sell some parts I will go custom grind, but for now gonna do it with what I have here
