Which Cam?

Im in the process of finishing my turbo'ed 418, but i have come to a halt. I want to get a cam that is goin to do good with my turbo. Right now i have a Edelbrock performer cam in it. The engine is still fresh and have not started it yet. Just decided that maybe i need another cam and wanted opinions on what cam would be good. Here at school we have a cam grinder but i havent got to engine machining yet which sucks becuz i could have possibly had a cam ground...

Hydraulic, Solid or Roller cam.....

And how much lift can your heads take?

Edlebrock makes a pretty strong cam. But with a turbo you may be better with a custom roller grind. I would bet there is someone here that has a turbo setup that can lead you better than me. Or better yet contact the cam mfg directly and see what the recommend.
