Default cam 221/221 .561/.561 114+4 sound like a forced induction cam?

Does this look like a good forced induction cam for a stock cubed LS1? I already have this cam installed prior to going to a turbo and was questioning if you can see any reason to not keep it?

It's fine as a cam to get your build going, tuned in and stabilized. Then, once you get more experience with your FI setup, if you think the cam is holding you back you can change it.

That is an ideal street cam for FI IMHO. Especially if you are concerned with driveability and don't want a heavy lope. Alot of people run stock LS1, LS6 cams in forced induction cars and make good power and keep it streetable. Duration isn't nearly as important with FI as much as the lift and overlap, which that cam has both. If you decide to go bigger, let me know. I'll take it.

I use to run a B1 cam very similar to that I believe. Worked pretty well.

Will it work? yep. Is it going to be optimized to your setup? I don't know because you haven't told us about it.
