Default Tu2 hurt more than help?

I am in process of building an Iron 347 to go with a s480 in my camaro. I had a ms4 for my cam only setup and knew this would definitely not be an ideal cam at all for boost so I put it up for sale or trade and got one reply of a tu2. So I figured this would definitely be a better cam for boost than the ms4 so I traded for it. Now I'm looking at maybe I should sell or trade this one as well for something smaller. Details
Iron 347
9.7 CR
317 heads w/ BTR .660 titanium spring kit
Ls6 intake
Stock rockers with btr trunnion
Ls9 head gaskets
Ls7 lifters

S480 T6 1.32

Th400/3.42 rear gear (haven't ordered a stall yet)

Full weight

Would like to throw a Vic Jr/Aaron's setup and port the heads on it later down the road.

Id run it. I ran a TU1.5 in my 6.0 and was very happy. I used a TU2 in a 418 also worked great but that is quite a bit more cubes. Anyhow in your shoes with the cam in front of me I am putting it in.

I was thinking worst case it would be better than the ms4 and could get me going Atleast.

Hell i'm running a tu1 cam on my 346 and it's working no problem. Wish I would have went a little bigger though. Like the tu1.5 or tu2 as I think i'm hitting limits of what the cam can handle for the boost pressure I'm shooting for. Not sure though, gotta look into my options.

Run it... If it feels soft on the bottom end.... advance it 4 degrees.

Would this cam benefit more by going straight to the Vic Jr/Aaron's elbow setup?
