I am using a .68 on a 60-1 and I love it. 400rwtq at 2500RPM ... but I am (currently) using a stock torque converter so I am able to capitalize on the smallish turbo. If you are going to the effort of a cam (that will help in the upper RPM range) then I might go with a little bit bigger AR. You certainly won't lose much down low. How YOU want the power delivery to be may take a little tweaking on AR and/ or torque converter. Just my 2 cents

I used to have the 60-1 with a .68 my power dropped off at 5200. I now have a mpt70 with the .96 the engine pulls a lot harder on the top end all the way to 6000. I plan to install my gt2-3 in the next few days. Go with the .96.

Also, I would to see some discussion on turbine size... P, Q, S Trim and so forth.

I only have dynoed it one time and that was with the 60-1, a 45 shot and 11-12psi. The torque peaked 597 at 4800 and the horsepower was 546 at 5200. The truck would only hit 107mph in the quarter. I liked the instant torque the only problem was I was always in boost. Just barely tip in at 65 and it was in boost. I had to play with the timming tables a lot and reenable burst knock to keep it from pinging at 60-80mph when accelerating at light throttle. I do get better gas miledge now that it doesn't boost every time I speed up.

That cam should work. What are the rest of the specs on your truck? If you have a decent stall, and gears I would go with the looser AR. If you can keep back pressure down, that cam might work for you.

The A/R ratio. Not the converter. A 3000-3200 should be enough. I have a yank 3400, and I should have gone with the 3000. I think I would go with the .96AR with that cam. Are you 2wd, or 4wd?
