if you've got the money and the effort of going to a turbo setup,...why not do it right? Get a turbo cam,....I have a MS3 cam,...and its said by lots to be made for stock cube and designed for stock head 346 cars. In my case i've ran 11's with just the MS3 cam only,.... doubt its designed for a turbo application.

The high overlap/early EVO of the MS3 will bleed off alot of the boost. It would be pretty pointless to install a turbo or supercharger w/ that cam.

+1 There's no sense in running a N/A cam with lots of overlap on a Tubo car. I wouldn't want to half *** a turbo build to save a couple hundred bucks. Do it right and get a cam with no overlap. Trade somebody that wants to go bigger on there cam. If it were a difference of 1k or more I could see it being a dilema. With what it would cost you to do it right, its a no brainer.

I suggest you have Patrick G or PREDATOR spec you out a cam. They have cams designated for turbo cars for a reason

Stock ls6 cams work good in turbo apps and are inexpensive.
