Default Turbo cam for the 5.3l

Need some comments and opinions on this cam for a 5.3l turbo! Gonna be running this cam, comp 26918 single springs, factory Pistons with rings gapped, factory rods resized for arp rod bolts, 317 heads milled .015 should put me right at 9.5:1, arp head studs, FTI single disc billet converter 3000 stahl, 09 80e with hd2 Kit, 40k cooler, and the same precision 74/75 turbo. Looking to be around 650-700 at the wheels around 15lbs of boost with meth.

it would be ok... not perfect but should be fine. If it were me... i would lower the 222/222 to like a 212/212, 216/216 or 218/218.. lift is lower so you could get by with some LS6 springs.

Not sure ls6 springs are a good idea with low to mid .5 lift. Won't 15lbs. try to hold the valves open?

Pretty soon.. I was wanting to put the motor together this weekend and get it in the truck next week, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen.
