    Best to call a cam guy, vs letting some guys on a forum guess for you. If you want it right, get the right cam, from someone who actually knows. My go to guy is Geoff Skinner at EPS(engine Power Systems). I have bought hundreds of cams from him, he delivers every time

    its a turbo on a stock engine, so use whatever cam you want as long as it's not a stock one or too 'big'.

    I would recommend a 'sloppy stage 1 or 2' because

    a. proven to be reliable in a daily driver config
    b. won't kill valve springs or valve guides (low lift slow ramp) same as a
    c. plenty of lope if thats ur thing
    d. cheap $221 to $250
    e. many versions, Jegs, elgin, TFS, etc... same design has been proven
    f. proven to make the 1000rwhp on a 6.0L for $221

    I have a brt stage 2 turbo cam and I really like it. I also have the lq4. It sounds good and makes good power. I have had a sloppy stage 2 cam also and the btr sounds a little better at idle and seems to make a little more top end power.
