Default Has anyone ever gone with this cam?

I need to know if anyone has used this cam? Or know who makes it.

I doubt it, that's not even worth using IMO. If your going to use that you should just leave the stock cam in.

That would be a great daily-driver camshaft with very worthwhile gains all the way to the limiter compared to a stock cam.

A company such as Comp Cams can grind that for you if required.

Sams Performance in Sydney, Australia. He does Development & Research for HSV and the VE car platform (Holden, Camaro & Pontiac G8) tested one of these, some time ago, though it may not have had the same amount of lift that you quoted. It certainly made good gains and didn't affect idle or part-throttle or have much if any affect on economy.

If interested, I can email you the cam comparison dyno graph in about a week. As I don't have it in this one I'm using atm.

I'm actually building a shortblock for a friend and he is wanting to trade this cam plus cash for my labor. I am just wanting to see if anyone has used this before. I can see how some would think it would be a waste to put this in but this could give some decent power throughout the entire band. Like I said I just wanted to see if anyone has used this. Not only that but I have an ls6 cam in mine I wouldn't put this in my car haha.

Way too small for the minimal gains that it will produce...
