Your best bet would be to call someone and get a custom spec cam.

The trickflow 216/220 would do just fine and is super affordable.

A lot of people run a split patter like mentioned above for sc, while smaller single plan cams are favored for turbo aps. In general, honestly boost likes the stock cam pretty well, so it will like almost any cam other than stock "within reason" with a good tune.

I assume from your large wheel/tire configure set up you would like to gain some lowend and midrange. I like the 216/220 idea, keep low end, and give more mid/top over the stock cam. If you want a top end screamer go bigger.

Yes it has an appropriate split duration and 114LSA so it should do very nicely if your not looking for an all out build.
