Default Cam and Pulley ideas

98 Z28 stock motor. Headers, magnaflow, 5psi Procharger kit. Runs great, but a little disspointed with the results. 407/406. I am considering a cam and pulley up to 6psi. I want more power, but it will be a while (couple years) before I build a motor, so I am looking for reliability and longevity. I did upgrade to patriot gold springs and hardened pushrods already.....

I am thinking of:

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR Blower" - 214/230 .601/.579 117 LSA

or should I look for something less aggressive? I want something with good drivability and something not too lumpy of an idle....

Also, how much boost am I going to lose, and how much of a pulley change will I need for 6#? Kit came with 4.10". Got 3#. Swapped to 3.7" and got 5.1. I am thinking 3.6 or 3.5". Thoughts? I don't want to own a stack of pulleys and try to sell them

Thanks!
