Default Cam for LS1 Motorsport's Turbo kit?

I need help picking a cam.
I will using a 0.005 over-bore stock aluminum block and Stage II ported 6.0L heads. The block will be fully studded and have forged rods and pistons with approx 9.1:1 compression.
I'll be using the PTE T63 and trying to make 550-600 rwhp.

The engine will be in a WS6 convertible 6 speed with a 4000-4100lb race weight!!!!

do you have to worry about emissions

popular turbo cams right now are ones with an intake duration larger the the exhast dur.

somthing like a 224/222-116 (or -114)

just my 2 cents...because of the weight, you dont want to lose too much bottom end...why not keep the stock cam or maybe something like a small reverse split. You dont want it to feel like a dog when just riding around.

Depends on how well the heads flow at a given lift.
I'd say a 224° .568"/220° .558" 114° would rock.
Again depending on your heads.
