Below I will attach a picture of what I’m currently running and what is going onto the truck. I think I’m going to switch to a stage 2 turbo cam with less duration to benefit the boost more. If I do so will I have to change pushrods or valve springs again? Also is my tb and manifold adequate for what is going on. I will be pulling the top end to check ring gap and I have one of my friends who has a boosted ls helping me so I’m not totally in the dark just wanted to see some other opinions.
Current engine build and what things are going onto the motor.
For cam recommendations you need to provide way more info.
Intended use, dedicated drag car, street/strip, street only?
Fuel used, gasoline, E85, methanol?
Automatic or manual transmission?
Also, whichever cam manufacturer you're looking at, you should contact them and give them a detailed rundown of your build, intended use and let them recommend a cam for you.
You may be surprised by what they recommend.

Truck will be drag/street, not a daily. I will be running 94 octane gasoline it’s a 4l80 built for 800 with a 3200 single disc stall and transgo hd2 shift kit. I’m not sure who to contact for a cam..
Your options on cams are many to be sure, here are a few top names that I know off hand.
Mike Jones at Jones Cam Designs
Baker Engineering
Lil John Motorsports
Smallwood Race Development @Summitracing

I'd use the BTR .660 drop in valve spring as well, great piece and won't be as close to max as what you have listed.
I would leave it alone and get the car up and running on what you have. There is nothing wrong with that cam. Swapping randomly to a “Stg2 turbo cam” isn’t going to do much. Get it running first. If it does something you don’t like, make changes.
We like @Forcefed86's approach. That BTR stage 3 truck cam is a good cam for what you're looking to do here. We know there are mixed feelings about Holdener but when he says "any cam is a boost cam" he's not lying.
If you were to come to us for a cam recommendation for this combo we'd probably recommend our SUM-8720R1. Specs on it are .600/.600, 218/227, 112+2 with -1* overlap. Specs other than lift are pretty close to the BTR stage 3. Even down to the valve events @.050" they are pretty close to each other. Close enough that this would be a case where we'd say leave the combo as is. Our only recommendation would be to gap the rings, get your turbo setup on, tune it, and send it
Down the road, if there's something you don't like or think can be made better go back to the drawing board and go from there
