Check it out, im very happy with this. Im not trying to change your idea. Just some help from a FI guy if that helps.
From what I have researched and heard the turbo guys are running reverse splits. That cam looks like what the radix guys run. I agree the cam that cammotion recomends seems small to me as well.

Turbos can make a lot of power with small cams. I think the decision comes down to driveability vs. peak HP. I would use a reverse split for your application, like a 220/216 115 or so with close to .600 lift if you use dual springs. Definetly get some opinions from everyone you can.

When I bought my STS it cam with a 220/218 114lsa and it was spec'ed for a 6L and a 3K stall and be a good DD basically what you are looking at. That one is too small IMO.

Do you still have that cam? If so what kind of shape is it in?
