I have an opinion.
But I'm not a camshaft designer. Nor I have experience of comparing hundreds of cams with similar engine as yours.
Is there anyone who has this kind of experience?
Ok, I've had a bad week. Please, folks, continue and ignore my comments.

Custom turbo kit top mounted Comp 6767BB turbos probably .81 housings i think .96 are available also. Springs will probably be Pac 1207x's.
The turbo will be also attached to the custom built headers and have twin 3" down pipes. the cold side is getting a custom Chiseled IC twin 2.5" in sigle 4" out.
This is the current plan some things may change slightly.

That is a custom spec'd cam for this build! My only problem is if 20 people spec a custom cam they are all different and none will agree on any besides that one they did!
I asked for a cam with a little lope and be fairly easy on the valve train and be able to spin to around 7k rpm this was the result. I have a few others but this was about the best one the other close to this had .700 lift which I think is way high!

Then why the f*ck are you asking our opinion on it? Toss the bitch in and see what it does. If it doesn't tickle your happy place, put a new one in. If you don't like the lift, see about doing some Jesel 1.7's or other shaft mount rockers. Not sure if they even make them, but it's an idea. You definitely don't need huge lift with a boosted car. Duration, sure. But lift? Nah.

I was just hoping to find someone with a similar build that had good results so i dont have to do things twice! I know i can throw a stock cam in and make good power but is it ideal no i hate being a test rat but guess that's what i have to do.

You have enough engine and turbo to make 1K rwhp. What heads and intake are you running?
Given your desire for 7k rpm, have you asked the cam designer about the required spring pressures? Do you know the installed height of your springs and where the coil bind limit is?

The heads will be TFS255's or maybe the new ls7's but probably stick with the 255's to keep better velocity. Intake will be either victor or sheetmetal depending on my pocket when i'm ready for it and i have not to deep into the springs i did chat with BT about them and he gave me some recommendations.
