Default Cam and rockers?

Thinking about going with the STS kit and was looking for some advice on some cam and rocker selections. Mainly numbers, not brands or anything. Not sure what ratio rockers to go with in boosted applications. Did a search and and got no where. To general I guess. Right now it is a stock bottom end and I have PP stage 2 LS6 heads, 90mm intake and what not. I will be switching to Kooks uncoated LT's for this app as well. I also want to run about 7-8psi to start. If there is anything else I need to be aware of please feel free to chime in. I already upgraded the fuel system too. Thanks!

Go with stock ratio rockers, as for cam you want to look for something higher LSA (115 - 116) with bigger exhaust than intake, thats pretty general but it should get you started.

How big of a cam were you looking for?

Not looking for a huge cam cause I don't believe it is the best way to go with FI. I went big with the H/C package but will get a cam custom grinded for my application probably. So your suggesting I go with a 1.7 ration rocker then?

I suppose I should add that I want to go with a 6.0L or forged 348ci engine eventually.

FWIW, I've been told by several tuners that the 02+ Z06 cam and the LPE 2-3 cam works very well for blower cars.
