Default LG G5X3 cam with turbo

I have a LS1 with LG G5X3 cam in it now and am installing a manifold setup with S475 turbo. I am pulling the motor to install head studs and new head gaskets before doing the turbo install. Should I change cams while the motor is out or how good will that cam work on boost? This is in a camaro race car on E85.

goodol'93z has that same setup on an 80mm/low comp ls1 and seems to really like it. Might try pm'ing him although he isn't on here much at all.

No body else has tried that cam? I will have the motor out next week so I need to deside on a cam before then if I am going to change cams.

It'll be fine as long as it's a low back pressure turbo system.
