Default (LT1) Using a 224/236 114lsa in a turbo app

Thinking about ditching my F1A setup and getting a PTK turbo kit with a gt45 turbo..Couple questions: 1. Ive got a 224/ 236 114 lsa ~550 lift..Im willing to get a turbo cam, but wanted to see how this would work first.

Also the kit im looking at has the mp gt45, which is pretty much T66 internals with an oversized compressor housing and oversized divided turbine housing. I know id be going from 15psi F1A to this, which is obviously smaller, but wanted to see if i could get maybe 12psi at 5600 feet above sea level with this turbo..id like to get a t76 instead but for financial reasons just wanting to see how this turbo would work with the 224/236 114lsa in the meantime.

Your cam only has 2 degrees of overlap. You will be fine.

So is plus 2 going to have a negative effect on the turbo system?
