Be careful choosing a cam, because that will dictate the total personality of the engine. If this is a fun street motor use a Hydraulic Cam only! (KISS, Keep it simple .....)
Be sure the LSA has very little over lap 112* or higher otherwise you will bleed off your boost.
Make a call to 3 or 4 of the Big Cam Manufacturers and see what they offer. Be sure and have all the specs of your engine handy when you speak with them, and you don't need to go over board on the cam. A TT 455 when make tons of power so you don't need to go Crazy. Buy something Modest, If it doesn't make enough power you will want to re-asses your goals.
Be sure and stick to a street friendly engine, you will have a lot more fun and a lot less headache.
Google Turbo Buicks. There are a ton of sites that you can glean some information from.
If you can afford a intercooler, and can do the pluming correctly, do it. everything on the engine will work more efficiently, and you can run more boost without detonation. For the street try and stay away from alcohol injection. More Complicated=More Headache=More Expense.
Good luck,
