That is a small cam for a 370.....I'd look for something closer to a 228-230/234-236 your lift sounds good and your lsa sounds good, I'd just like to see more duration

Dependent on your goals of course, but a few extra horses from a different cam probably wont be worth it knowing you will be making most of your power from boost.

227/235 .614/.621 114 LSL lobes.

But then again n/a HP increase from a cam swap can be amplified greatly by the additional of boost

There are a lot of 1000rwhp turbo cars/trucks that use cams smaller than the one you have. I would contact Jarrett (stock48) on here and see what he thinks. He has proven time and time again to have some of the best turbo cams out there.
