How bad would this cam be?

I have a Texas Speed ,233/239 .595/.603 112 lobe sep . ,already installed. I know I really need a wider lobe sep. , but how much am I leaving on the table running this cam? Is it worth swapping out?

This will be in a 6.0 , L92 heads, carb intake w/elbow,S475 turbo.

Worth running until you know that it's tuned so well that the cam is what is holding you back.

Quit listening to the keyboard warriors. One of our local guys, who posts here as v-series tech, put 786 to the rollers on a stock 5.7L shortblock with a very similar grind.

ditto. I've seen some wild *** turbo cams that "wouldn't work," but did.
