Default G5X4 and boost?

I am running the g5x4 in my 02 z06 and will be putting andy's vortech kit on soon. i plan on running only 5-6psi for now. Will there be a lot of problems with this cam and blower? Will this cause any additional wear and tear verses a different cam? I also have a g5x3 on a 114; would this be a better choice? The main reason I want to use this cam is it makes great power so the blower can only add more, right? I also love the sound of this thing at idle. If this cam is strongly not recomended what should I go with that will still have a lope at idle? I have to have the old school idle.
thanks!

I know a guy with the G5X3 who is putting down 575 rwhp (625 on the edge). Prolly not the best, but it'll make good power.

That cam will have a lot of blow by. I would look into a cam that is made for a turbo not one that they made fo a N/A set up.
