Default Tu1 cam?

I'm looking for a turbo cam and I was looking at the speed inc tu1 cam. It says it has a 113 lsa. From what I read a cam with a higher lsa is better for boost. Will this cam bleed off boost and cause my turbo to take longer to spool up. I would like the idle to be choppy and I know choppy isnt good for boost so if this is a good cam for my setup and is a little choppy it would be perfect for what I want. It is a street only truck maybe the track a couple of times a year. would you reccomend a different cam? my setup is

2001 stock ls1 bottom end
mp t70 .96ar turbo
c6 flipped maniflods
2.5" cross over
3"dp
50mm gate and 60mm bov

I picked this cam up for my build. Haven't installed it yet, but I've heard good things about it.

There is nothing wrong with the tighter lsa in my book. Im running a 112lsa and it's just as strong or stronger than the same grind 114lsa that was in my other lq4.

You've also shown a relatively tiny cam can make a ton of power, your little cam is the reason I have a 216/216, pure success power wise.

That sound isn't what I was expecting. I was wanting a cam with a little faster lope than that. Going with a Precision 76GTS on a flipped manifold set-up/365ci LS2. Any suggestions?
