Not really a solid answer to this. Ls6, GT2-3, GT-7, reverse split with mid 220's, etc.. It really depends on a few things. Do you want the most efficient? Sacrafice a little for some lope? Pass emissions?
We have used what most would say is a bad cam for a turbo; 224/230 on a 112, but we like it. We have a car in the shop now that has a 226/220 .570.564 115. It too works great and has a smooth idle.
Almost anything will improve power in the end.

IMO, it would work great. If you already have it, keep it. You could do alot worse.

The high lsa and overall less overlap is what makes a turbo cam a turbo cam. Avoiding reversion helps, period.

I have never seen a power reduction by adding duration and overlap into a cam in a turbo motor. Quite the opposite, actually.

If it's front mount on meth, or a good IC, then you wouldn't... But trying to spool a larger turbo out back without wrapping is a bitch. Have you seen a difference between cams when it comes to spooling the turbo on the same car?

Also, some say that the turbo GN stock cam was ground on a 106 LSA to provide some overlap, allowing raw fuel into the exhaust that would then burn and spool the turbo faster. Not sure if it's true or if it works, but I've heard those guys talk about it.
