On my previous setup, this is what I had.....
370ci, 9.5:1, GT47-88 turbo, ported L92 heads, GMPP single plane, elbow and a FAST 78mm TB. I used a Comp 238-242 .605-.610 115 LSA on XER lobes. I shifted at 7000 rpm, it probably would have peaked a little higher, I just didn't feel the need to spin it more. It was a N/A type cam that worked great in a 88mm turbo application for me.
It made over 1000 hp, and took me well into the 8's. It spooled well, and ran pretty damn good. It was someting I shot in the dark with, since at the time, there was not any data of a 370 turbo and ported L92's. I consulted with several cam/engine guys, like Patrick G, Kurt Urban, Louis G, Ed Hutchins, they all told me to just try the cam I had and see how it performed. Nobody really knew how well it would do for sure.
That being said, on the new setup, I had Shawn spec me a custom cam for the new heads, and it does not look like my old one! The whole combination has to be taken into consideration.
