Do you have the adv int/ex durations rather than the 224/244 @ .050 lift?
It is a general rule that you want minimal overlap on a turbo cam, however, there are people who seem to think it is not such a big deal. Corky Bell's book, MAXIMUM BOOST says:
"The characteristics of long duration and high overlap for atmo cams are unwelcome in a turbo system. The street turbo, which is generally small, operates with exhaust manifold pressure somewhat higher than intake boost pressure. This situation, when presented with long-duration, high-overlap cams, creates a huge amount of reversion. Thus the "turbo cam" tends to become a low-duration, very limited overlap cam."

I am guessing that cam has around +40* overlap. When I end up getting my custom grind, it will probably be somewhere between -8* and +8*....probably in the negative range because I'm using the factory log style manifolds so I expect the exhaust manifold pressure to be pretty high.
