Default Good DD blower cam?

Got a 6psi powerdyne, LTs, the whole deal. Its my daily driver and wanted to know what a good cam would be? LS6 a good easy swap? Do I need to change springs and pushrods, etc?

GT2-3 is a good choice for F/I. Spring & Pushrods I would say yes.

Thunder Racing CheaTR cam all the way. 215/230 .600/578 117LSA. Low overlap and big exhaust duration are keys when making big power with a blower. The aggressive intake lobe will let plenty of forced air in the motor.

on stock cubes ive always loved the performance and the sound of a 224/230 .580/.590 lift on a 114LSA....
Is this a non IC PD kit?? with the pulleys that came with it and LT's and a bigger cam there is no way your going to see 6 psi....... time to pulley up....

It is non intercooled. I was interested in getting an intercooler but have no idea where to look or what to do. Is this something hard to put together? I mean, there isn't something made for this application i'm sure what the hell do i need?

With regard to the pulley, its a 6psi that I believe might have come from a procharger kit (6 rib). What would I need to get? Recommendations to "pulley up"?

The other thing is I was looking at the LS6 cam and the GM Hotcam kit. I can probably get these used on the site and was wandering if either of these would be a good choice, which would be the better choice, for my setup?
