I have this cam, it drives good and sounds good but you don't want my opinion on it's power making ability. Good luck with it.

If you use the 918s,you can reuse your stock retainers and locks,just stop by the stealership and get a few extra locks,for like 50 cents each.The 918s would be perfect for that cam,and you can get them on ebay for 165 shipped,two day shipping...

I got that cam and love it...made a good difference...Im on a mail order tune so i dont have any numbers but its a great daily driver with very good street mannners...Its sounds alot bigger than it really is, u can hear a clip in my sig thru my old exhaust set up with a cut-out and untuned. I used 918's aswell with comp TI retainers.

We are currently testing a new grind that we will be releasing in the next month or so. We will be adding a couple of more cams in the near future.

So the stock locks and retainers will work with the comp 918's is that a good idea. Hey 99ls1t/a you had some good #'s at the track lastnight. The guy in the firehawk needs to get his 3rd gear fixed and he will be fast as ****.

i have it put down 350 at 6000rpm, but they let off, with only cam, lid and duals with no headers no tune and it awsome for daily driving still would get about 24 mpg on highway
