Question is there an off the shelf came that will work with my application?

ill try to make this short as i know there are multiple threads on this
LS1 bored to 3.905
Stock crank
Mahle forged 16cc dished pistons with valve reliefs
Scat 6.125 i beam rods
mild ported 241 heads...plan on milling to 60cc
Cometic .040" headgasket
Deck Height 9.235"
Deck Clearance .015"
So my compression will be 9.0:1-9.5:1 depending on heads and HG's
m6 with 4.10s
will be a weekend warrior, NOT a DD!
i want to run just on motor for the first couple thousand miles and then eventually i will be going turbo. Is there a cam that will work ok N/A and FI as well? Or will i be doing a cam swap when i go turbo?

any opinions welcomed.

Pick a brand, Thunder Racing, Texas Speed, or EPS...you're only gonna need
a 224/224 .580-.600 with a 114 or 116 lobe separation, PSI maxlife beehives
or duals if preferred. Easily 600 flywheel hp with 8-9 lbs boost on 93 octane

if going FI talk with the company you will buy the turbo from.or get a cam from Patrick-G,a custom cam only cost $50 more then a shelf cam.$50 ain't much to get the most power out of a boosted combo.

thanks fellas, that is the responses i was looking for. I was trying to stay with TSP as that is where i got some of my other parts from. So i take it the MS3 or anything larger would not be good for my setup?

MS3 has been done but unless this is a track only setup, I would stay below 6* positive overlap.

FWIW, custom cams and off the shelf cams cost the same.
