Default Needs help w/ Cam Specs & Head Gaskets

In the process of building a 408 9:1, CNC Heads, 205 intake, 165 exhaust, 66cc. Running a D1 SC -- not sure how much boost yet -- old set-up ran 11 psi.

Looking to make 800hp, if possible -- need to know if GM 6L ml gaskets will work or do I need something with a bigger bore? Also, what I have no idea what would be the best cam for this set-up.

Any suggestions?

The old setup was on a 346 motor as well as stock heads and a VERY mild cam. He is now going to a 408 with very good heads. I would help but I am clueless on a good cam choice for that combo.

I believe you can use those. I thinks that's what I used on my 406

sure the 6.0 gaskets should work as long as you get the right bore size since your over boring the 6.0 block.
those would be my first choice.
not to sure on the cam
just depends on your driving needs.
maybe a 230/236-115 (just a guess)
