Default ASA cam for turbo?

Do you think this would be a good cam in a 5.3? I plan on turbo'n it, but that won't be for a while and kind of just want to get a run it N/A and later on putting sts turbo setup. If not, what cam do you recommend, I read the cam sticky and listened to most of the vids and liked how the asa cam loped.

The ASA is a BAD choice for turbochargers. You want a cam with little to no overlap. This means a LSA of 115°+ and moderate duration. I'd look at a 224°/220° .581"/.571" on a 115° LSA +0° (115° ICL). Or the TR 224 on a 115°.

Overlap is not good for forced induction, be it turbo or blower.

So do you think this would be an ok cam for both N/A and FI? 99-TR227/224-114. Thanks for your suggestions
