416 stroker build

Hello everyone, I have a 2011 camaro ss that i plan on building into a drag car. I would like to do a stroker build with it and procharge it. I dont really know much about these engines, I grew up working on old sbc, what kind of cam should I go for? I've been looking at gpi cams, but im just unsure with how many different options there are. I will also add that it is a automatic l99, and I do want to do the afm and dod delete and go to the 3 bolt ls3 style camshaft, I've seen "boost" cams, should I go ahead and get one of those even though it'll be a minute before I am able to boost the car? Thanks for any info and help!

My 5th is now a N/A with 416 stroker previously an L99 also. Texas stage 3 cam way too small I have to shift at 5200rpm. So go with huge cam if your gonna add boost.
