I wouldn't use a ls6 or ls9 cam. With boost you are going to need better springs then the yellow or blue z06 springs. I would give give lil john a call he can get you setup with a cam, valve springs and push rods this way you wont have any valve train problems.

I would rather see you run a LS6 camshaft instead of the LS9 in a turbo application.
The intake valve close event is very late and IMO is not optimum for most combinations, if any other than its intended original purpose which is an OEM 6.2L positive displacement blower application.

I'd like to ask some questions about the combination first if you do not mind.
Bore and stroke/displacement?
Compression?
Cylinder heads?
Intake manifold?
Turbo used?
Trans?
Stall?
Rear gear?
Race weight?
Tire size?
These questions will get us going on the right track to specifying the right camshaft for your combination.

Bore and stroke/displacement - 4.030 bore, 4.000 stroke/408ci, 6.7 liters
Compression - 8.5:1-9.1:1
Cylinder heads - L92's, or AFR 225/235's, haven't looked too much into them.
Intake manifold - Holley Hi-Ram because it looks friggin awesome and performs pretty good.
Turbo used - PT88
Trans - Built 4L80, and somehow beef up my transfer case.
Stall - Circle D 3,200-3,400 stall
Rear gear - 4.10:1 to 4.56:1
Race weight - Truck weighed in at 6,800 pounds with me in it on a scrapyard scale, will shave a little weight off but not much.
Tire size - 35's on the street, may find lighter rims and radials or slicks if traction is an issue, but that's what four wheel drive's for!
This is just my initial plan, I am always open to opinions!

There will be a noticeable difference in the required valve events for a L92 head and for a cathedral port head. That will need to be decided upon before the camshaft is specified.

Wow, that's a tank!!! Definitely going to need as much torque as possible. Top end HP is not going to make your truck any faster.

If you would like, shoot me an email to martin@tick-performance.com. We'll get a good cam picked out for you. Most likely end up in the low 220 duration range, possibly a 21x intake lobe.
