Default built LC9 to N/A

Hey guys
i have a clean LC9 that i build with boost in mind
short spec list: SBE, DOD delete, all new bearings (Stock), new rings gaped 28/30, new Melling M295 Oilpump, BTR 3 bolt cam conversion, Lunati Voodoo turbo cam(286/286), LS9 Head Gaskets, 799 Heads with new valves & .660 Ferrea springs, retro fit lifters etc...

Now the scenario
This LC9 was build for a drag project that i sold.
In the meantime i bought a 72 A- Body (Skylark) project that i m planning on building PRO TOURING inspired,
So i want a powerful drivetrain but RELIABILTY is key + i definitly need AC.

Now i am thinking if i should use the
LC9 N/A which would need a cam change of course. Here is the question what is this SBE N/A LC9 capable of and what cam specs are recommended?

other option is of course to use it for what it was build for and boost it, but idk how reliable it would be for my purpose since i would really plan on DRIVE IT.

btw in terms of management i was planing Holley term. X

PS: the other N/A option is to put the LC9 aside and get a 6.0 and cam it ?
