Default Cams for Turbo Set-up

i was looking into aftermarket cams for my set-up but i am not knowledgeable that much on cams as far as on stock block, was looking at the Skunk2 Pro Series 1 Cams, but then noticed there was a Skunk2 Turbo Series 1 set of cams for low boost between 5 and 10 pounds and another for higher boost. My main question is should i go with the turbo cam set? is the Skunk2 Pro Series 1 cams only for all motor or what? My set-up is below:

Engine: B18c1 GSR
Peakboost Ver 1 Turbo Kit 50 Trim turbo at 8 pounds
Skunk2 IM and 68mm TB
GM 3 Bar Map Sensor
Hondata S300 Tuned
3" Exhaust

If anymore info is needed just let me know open to all help and criticism.

ITR cams. Do not get the Pro1s for that setup.

i had the same question, what gains would you gain from skunk2 stage 1 turbo cams?
can you get by without them, just stock cams and spoon adj cam gears (b17a1)

stock cams will work fine. but any all motor " stage 1" blox type A, skunk stage 1, BC 3 will work well. i'd stay away from most " turbo"cams

I was planning on going doing either crower or skunk2 stage two turbo cams for my built b16 head. But I found tonight that there is a Brian Crower and a Crower. Are they the same company or different, if they are different which one is better?

I made 675whp with ITR cams. They work great, are fairly priced and readily available. They have been proven time and time again. For a setup like the one posted, ITR cams will work great.
