Default Turbo cam recommendation

Hey guys I've been burning the midnight oil trying to find a camshaft for my build. Its a iron 370 forged bottom end 9:1 cr with LSA rectangle port heads with a S475 t6 turbo going into my 91 camaro with 3.50 gears 3800 stall 4l80e weighs 3200 lbs with me in it. Gonna also have water meth system and all controlled by a Holley dominator. Looking to spin the engine to around 7000 rpm. Car isn't a daily driver but I do hit up the strip and do some roll racing. What do you pros suggest?? Thanks a bunch for the input

If you don't like that answer look at the turbo cams for ctsV. Make sure it's a turbo cam not a supercharger can but there are plenty and all you have done is basically recreated a Lea set up with better pistons and rods

Hey small world! Thanks for the input. Yeah I think I'll go the custom route seems like that's the answer. The more I search around the more I see people just go custom. What brands do most of you guys use?? Comp, cam motion, crane etc etc??

Everyone is super loyal to whoever specs their cam and thinks they **** gold. There are plenty of people who can spec a good cam. Little jon, cam motion, tick, vengeance, comp directly, I mean I could go on for days. MY thought process is look for a major vendor. Someone who is constantly putting out good **** and chose them. For me that's vengeance. That's who will be spec'ing my cam. I was originally going to go with tick because they have great cams already pregeound and when I ordered parts from them their customer service was second to none. They went the extra mile every step of the way. But after spending a few thousand dollars there when it came time to ask about a custom spec cam they just referred me to a cam they had on the shelf. Probably a solid cam but it doesn't really take into account my car is a 370" with ls3 heads and a 7875 turbo. It's just a turbo ls3 cam for turbos in a big range. Vengeance wants to know every detail no matter how small to make sure it's perfect. That's why they got my vote.
