Default Turbo lq4 build, Cam choice?

My 5.3 had a bad day a while back so I'm taking the leap and getting a lq4. My plans are to freshen it up and slap the turbo lot back on it. I'll be running the lq4, P&P 317s, arp rod and head bolts, I'm running a gt45 turbo. Fuel will be 91 Oct and possibly meth down the road. Wanna run Round 14psi. Shooting for 750 to the wheels. ID be happy with anything over 700 tho. My current cam is a tr220 bit I'm thinking of swapping. Been doing a lot of reading and talked to a few guys and I like the BTR stage 1 cam. Brian also recommended it to me for my build. I was wondering what you all though? Any input would be great. Thanks guys

Bump... Anyone ? So far I have the BTR as my #1 pick. Also been looking at the tu1.5 cam, Tick stage 1 turbo cam. A lot of my pulls would be from a roll I'm sure. But if not being 4x4 I should be able to pull hard from a dog as well so thinking more mid-upper range cam?

Tooley's cams are good stuff. You could always have one custom spec'd by him or Pat G.

You're going to have all the mid range power you can stand with a turbo. The cam just enhances that.

Or get with Stock48 and get a custom spec for your application.

Appricate the input guys. I've talked to Brian a bit. I'm ordering pretty much everything from him to get the build done. Asked him if cost wasn't a option what would he run in the set up. Told me his stage one turbo cam. Sounds like a healthy cam. Haven't seen many trucks running it so I was just wondering. Thanks for the input guys I'll have to look into that as well.
