Why do you need cams?

PSI is irrelevant. What horsepower are you shooting for?

This is going to sting but I see you have no real plan and little in the way of a clue. A search would answer all your questions. Getting parts just because you THINK you need them is not very wise.

Boost IS NOT something you want spoonfed to you. Anyone that does is not your friend and is not helping you.

Do some more research.

In the Forced Induction forum is a long running thread of B-series boosted builds. You should check there first.

psi is irrelevant, cams are a waste of money. that motor needs top end breathing room, which the ls doesnt have. 280-300hp is safely had, but you should do some more research and figure out what exactly you are looking for.
