Default Reverse split cam question

I'm thinking about going the turbo route in the near future. I have the following cam installed 220/218 .564/.562 114LSA. I came out of a turbo'd LQ4 RCSB. I've done some reading and not everyone agrees with reverse split cams for turbos. I plan on leaving this cam in when I do the turbo but the difference is that my truck is a 5.3l. I know there are many variables but what is your opinions on running this cam in a 5.3l turbo application?

I'm running an old SLP 234/228 0.571/0.582 113 cam in my PT88 5.3 rcsb. Its a dog below 3k, but cruising is comfortable, idle draws attention, and it makes a butload of power in boost. This cam was in my ex-gf's 6.0 camaro years ago and made good NA power, so I thought it's free why not give it a shot. Stock48 made killer power with a 212/212 and there are others who will suggest a more suitable cam, but if money is tight give it a go.

Thanks for the input. I wasnt planning on changing it out unless results arent that great. I figured since its already in there why change it. I just wanted to hear some opinions on the reverse split cams. I have seen some pretty impressive numbers/times
