i originally was building a N/A 5.3 i got the texas speed 228r .600 lift 110lsa but now bought everything for a turbo build, and my question is how much will this cam hurt me?
Thanks in advance for the input

Depends on the turbo setup, top end power could start falling off very very early.

The only way you're going to know for sure is to try it ,other wise You could always sell/ trade it for something more "boost" oriented.

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.

The stock GN cam might have been on a 107 LSA, but it still had -20 degrees of overlap @.050.

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.

Run a nice flowing set of twins that won't make any real back pressure and you'll be set. Otherwise change the cam.

If you drop it on your toe it will hurt like ****.

It will be fine just run it. My cam is on a 110 LSA with more overlap although it's not ideal it has no problem making HP.

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!
