Default LQ9 whipple charged cam advice.

Well I just ordered an LQ9. I have a 5.3 with the whipple at 8psi. I am going to ditch the whipple electronics. I have 42lb inj nelson tune meth FLT level 5 tranny with PI 2400 to 2600 stall. I want to keep the existing stall. Before I put the 6.0 in I need some good cam advice. I would like to know from someone that has a whipple in an LQ9 and has dyno numbers if there is anyone, but any advice is appreciated. I know nothing about cams. I have heard a lingengelter gt-2-3 or something along that lines is supposed to be good. Please help an ignorant guy out.

There are all kinds of options, Comp 212/218 Low lift, high lift vers. of the same. GT2-3, Vinci Trucker cam (216/224 551/551 115lsa) Comp 216/220. Take your pick. How do you want the power curve? Do you plan on doing something to keep your IAT's down? (Meth, Intercooler) If you pick a cam with too much overlap you will have to spin the blower faster to make the same boost and your IAT's will be higher, if you have something to offset this then its no worry...
