Buick GN cams were 107 lsa, take that for what u will. Will it make more power earlier with a wide turbo grind? Sure. If this is a racecar, change it, if its a street car, enjoy your choppy idle and turn the wastegate up another pound or two.

A TSP 228R on a 110 LSA has around 8 degrees of overlap. That is a significant difference.
Anything over 0 degrees increases the chances for reversion from exhaust pressure, which will make top-end power take a nose dive.

I 100% agree for what that is worth. The lift and duration are decent overall, the overlap/layout of the cam is the issue. Ideally, less overlap is better, but I would have no issues running that cam!
