Default Good cam to run NA before turbo biuld

I want to get my truck paid off before I turbo it. So is there a good cam to run with a stock stall for my 6.2 for about 1 to 2 years. That will still have some gain over the stock cam and still be friendly when the time comes for the turbo. And since I am going turbo should I keep the VVT of go with a non VVT cam. If I delete the VVT all in need is a LS3 gear and timing cover right?

I was looking at a tripple 12 or BTR stage II but I'm not sure how they would work with a 6.2

My truck is a 2008 6.2 denali

I can't find much info on that cam in a 6.2 most of them are in 5.3's. Wouldn't it be a-little small in a 6.2. I don't know I'm just asking?

What is JFR short for?

Thanks George I was hoping you would respond to this. My goal with this truck is to mimic your lifted crew cab. A turbo 6.2 that can still tow my wakeboat on the weekends but still dip into the mid 12's. I just can't do it all at once so I would like to knock out the cam at the end of the summer. Then turbo after it's paid off the following year.

The BTR Stage 3 truck might be good as it's close to the jfr cam 218/224 .552/.552 114
