Default Little fun for now ready for boost later ideas please help..

I just bought a 6.0 lq4 with the 4l80 tranny going to swap it into my 04 rcsb silverado I plan on going turbo in the future.. But I want some fun for now while I safe money for turbo.. I want to get a cam, stall, 3:90's, posi, headers cai intake ud pulley cut out

Now my question is what siZe cam ( I like the choppy sound but not sure if suitable for turbo)
Stall I'm planning a 3200 to 3600 not sure yet.
Thinking of getting the fast 92mm intake mani
Now I know when I get the turbo I'm not going to need those bolt ons but I just want to have some fun with the swap in the meanwhile..

Any suggestion are welcome thanks.

I would focus on supporting mods for the turbo. Sounds like you are gonna put enough money in the motor now to have the turbo...... Doesn't make sense.... Fast 92 850.00, fast tb 300.00,cam 300-450.00, springs 250.00, pushrods 100.00, cai 200.00, headers 375.00, underdrive pulley 250.00....... Stuff adds up over 2500$ on the cheap side and didn't inlude timing chain, gaskets, oil pump etc. Etc.

5500 seems a little steep..... Do a search for turbo cams and you will find a lot. A reverse split duration is what you need. Also, the ZO6 and GT2-3 cam is a popular choice among the boosted guys
