LSA and the lift is more indicative of an NA cam. Not to mention that its very large for a 5.3. It's virtually identical to a tick stage 3 turbo cam with less then ideal lift and lobe separation. But I assume if your going with something that large your planning on running a pretty high stall converter as well with a pretty high rev range? 7k at least I would think?
Most turbo cams are close to specs of a n/a cam, the specs for your cam seem right on part with where you should be. This thing should be a while lot more efficient at lower boost levels now. Let's just hope the tuner kows watches doing the time around

Depends on the size of the turbo IMO, even tick states that specs that large should be used with a 76-80mm turbo. Not sure what he has.
i would give martin @ tick performance a yell before you go final on those cam specs, im sure it will work but i doubt it will make for a good power band with that size turbo. IMO.

With a turbo the size of the OP's, the largest cam I'd recommend would be our Stage 2 5.3 Turbo cam.

Just waiting for Dave to send my Trans back should be next week I'm planning on first week of December to get it in I have a base file for break in and then I'll turn it up to around 16psi and to the dyno for a tune
While you have it apart nowhen would be the time to upgrade your fuel system....stay way from the aem 320. I would also seriously consider e85. But bare minimum at least a walbro 450.
