ANything in the 115lsa range would be a good cam.. Im sure some of the turbo guys could chime in..
You can make very good hp on a stock cubed block.. more than is usable on the street

woo dont blindly take the 115lsa thing. the reason people say that is because it stops u from having alot of overlap that you dont need for a turbo.
Your gonna need some exhaust duration also, and maybe shorten the intake because you dont need the same time to get the air in the hole. I'd reccomend calling a sponsor, W2W or Stenod are really good for FI Questions, because IM NOT A MECHANIC But i do read alot.

With that cam, if you plan to run single, it better be an efficient setup. IF backpressure is high, you are risky potential reversion, holding the exhaust valve open that long.
