Default LS6 cam specs? Good for forced induction?

I've been doing some research on LS6/ZO6 cams and it looks like this might be the way to go for me. I'm looking for something with a good idle and good valvetrain wear but something that will be more efficient with 8-9lbs of boost then my stock LS1 cam. Would be using 918 springs with this cam if I go with this correct? Also I read that there are different cams for different years, if soo which one or ones work the best for induction and what are the specs? I'm looking for a 2002 - 2003 cam I beleive. Thanks in advance for any info!
Bob

LPE GT-2 cam sees a lot of success, as does the 02+ LS6 cam. Also, I am pretty sure 918's would be good wither either cam + FI.

On a similar note....

Who has the highest recorded power with either camshaft ?

Either Z06, or GT2-3 ? preferebly in a supercharged install....as its easier to turn the boost up with turbos to get power.

Definitely. I love the stockness of my GT2-3 cam. The GT2-3 cam is very similar to a Z06 cam (more lift).

I don't know what the record is but I know it's well over 650 rwhp.
