Nobody is going to be able to tell you what the best cam for the engine is besides a reputable cam grinder. All we can do is make suggestions.

Not sure what cam it has now. Any suggestions will work. If your running boost is there certain type of cam thats better then the other.

You might have a custom ground cam in the car already. I'd try to find out what cam is in the engine. Call the engine builder or previous owner.

custom grind if there isn't one already

+1 on everything said. With a custom grind, you will have the best cam for your setup, and the guys at the cam companies are going to be the best to ask that question. I have a Cam Motion custom grind ,not in the car yet so I can't tell you how much I like it, they came highly recommended and saliv8 has one in his car and is pleased with it, they seem to be pretty on top of their game. I've also heard nothing but good about Jay Allen cams.

Usually blower specific cams have wider lobe separation for less overlap.
