Default 5.3 w/ D1SC Procharger Cam question

Changing directions a bit with my build and looking for some input. I put a SBE L33 5.3 w/ 799 heads together for turbocharging, but decided to try something new and traded for a D1SC kit and a T56. Gearing is currently a 3.27 in an 8.8 rear, and can be swapped to a 3.73 without much headache (have this gear set).

The cam I went with that's in the L33 5.3 currently is a 220/224 .575/.575 112+4 (Elgin 1839P). Will this perform well with the Procharger? Valvesprings are Pac 1218s that I'd like to retain.

I had considered swapping it for a 228/230 .585/.585 112+4 (Elgin 1840P) if it would make more power and not cost me much to change out.

If these both suck, what would work better with a D1SC?

I'd stick with the current cam, and swap to 3.73's as long as you're willing to shift at 7k.

Probably so! Just needs an updated flux capacitor.

Cool build. Ive been interested in seeing how a D1SC would perform on a 5.3. Keep us posted.
