Default Cartek 2x w/ STS?

How would this cam go with an STS kit? I'm not looking forward to that bit of lag due to the turbo's placement, but will this cam help or hurt in this department? I'm getting a real good deal on this cam and already have the STS kit waiting to get installed. Wondering if I should make the plunge or not.

Specs of the cam are: 224/228 .590" lift 114LSA

That cam looks FI friendly, not optimal, but friendly.

Yea, new it wasn't going to be the best choice, obviously a custom turbo would be the best, but getting this thing dirt cheap, so why not right? Hehe ... just wanted to make sure that it wouldn't be detrimental or anything to the performance of the car with the STS on there.

Cartek has done a "few" STS installs. You might call them and ask them.
