The performacne cams from Mopar are non-roller cams. The 767 cam is not specifically for turbo use and was meant as an upgrade for a non-turbo car. Not to say that it won't work, but it may or may not be what you're looking for in terms of power output and power curve (as in area under the curve).
The only roller performance cams available are not made by Mopar but are available from some of the Turbo-Dodge vendors. Or you can have one made to your specifications by a custom cam company. As to which cam to run, that's a tough question. There are so many variables involved with choosing the appropriate cam its not even funny. Things like what turbo you're running, how much boost, which cylinder head, intake, computer. Has the head/intake/exhaust been ported? Do you have an adjustable cam pulley? Can your computer be reprogrammed on the fly? What kind of driving do you do? All of these will effect what cam you run and whether you can fine tune the cam to the drivetrain and whether the cam will match the car's intended use. For this reason, many of us run stock cams and focus on optimizing the rest of the drivetrain as it seems to allow the motors to retain their civility and legality for those of us in areas where regulr emissions inspections are required.
