Default New lsx build! Need opinions

Hey guys new to this forum. Pretty excited, I hear there are a lot of helpful people on here!

Here's my questions. I'm building an lm7 for boost. Not trying to kill the motor but I am using stock crank, rods, and pistons. I plan on changing the cam, lifters, pushrods, rocker arms, and valve springs. I'm hearing ls6 is the best cam for these engines when going turbo. But I still want that lopey sound at idle. One more question is I found a great deal on 241 heads, will they work on my lm7?

What size turbo do you have? The LS6 cam seems to work well with smaller turbos. Larger turbos seem to perform best with cams designed around them.

Here are some results of a SBE 5.3 with a cam kit that we keep in stock.

I think I'm going to go somewhere around a 76mm turbo

Will ls1 heads work on the lm7? Without doing any machining to the heads? What head gaskets should I use?
