stock turbo set up. opinion on cams?

Just looking for some advice before i choose my path on cams:
heres a list of mods:
Magnaflow TBE
Ported hotside
ported exhaust manifold
mbc set at 23.5 psi on 93 oct. tuned by kunal
aem short ram intake
ams licp
map o2 dump

For the best results on this set up?
gsc s1? ( leaning toward)
kelford 264

or just gsc s2 or kelford s2 with upgraded valve springs and retainers?
ive been looking around and seen that gsc s1's are probly the best but whats your opinion and please explain to me why. Just saying a cam really doesnt help.

any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks!

any gains on any cam choice is going to be minimal on a stock turbo imo.
get a set of used HKS on here for around 300 bux. !

also try searching under the thread " how much power will my setup make" or something similar... you can even post there and the tuner dude will give recommendations/ estimated power and torque .

Check out the GSC S1 cams.. made for the stock turbo/valve train. I just picked up a used set for $160 with only 7k miles on it.
