It lopes! It even cam surges at 1400-1500 in some cases. Happy though good top end power (M-6 car)

very good power, we installed one in a friends car. pulls very hard. i had the 231/237 cam, very good combo with some patriot heads. either way you can't go wrong. i would suggest the 231/237 since having it in my car and my friends car.

I put it in my 5.3. Has a NASTY idle! If you spend the time to tune it, there's no surging and it will even drive good in an automatic. It takes time and patience though.

Makes good power up top, and decent low end too. You can buy mine if you like.

Well, I would say that it would probably be too much for most people's tastes. It would certainly need a good set of gears behind it though!

[EDIT] BTW - I like this cam a lot, and want it for my Trans Am with some hand-ported LS1 heads.

Its a great cam and like mentioned above if tuned right it will drive good even in an A4 car. It has a mean idle, makes good power through the band and has decent clearance for its size. If your looking to make the most power and wanting an aggressive idle, look to the MS3, 233/239 or the Torquer v.2. If you guys have any questions about these cams feel free to post up or send me a pm!
