I am...and it's not a .571 lift on the exhaust it's .581...

I'm running it in my A4 Daily driver and LOVE IT!! It's amazing cam...seriously...and Jayson can tune them in to run be as trouble free as a stock cam. I can crank my car, put in reverse and go...no need to wait for it to "Find" an idle...it just gets it right when you fire it up...only time I give it a few seconds is when the AC is on..then I give it a second...other than that...no problems...even very little surge w/the converter locked up...only noticable once in a blue moon. doesn't sound like the big ole nasty cam it is neither so it's a good sleeper cam that you could pass off as a 222/222 type cam seriously.

I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAM. i wouldn't change this cam unless someone GAVE ME AND PAID FOR THE INSTALL of a G5X2 just cause I'd like to see any difference. Other than that..even when I do go forged 360, the X1 is going back in.

I have this cam also. Jayson and crew put my set-up together. I pulled 414 safely tuned with A4. When I sprayed it she went crazy. Like he said Jayson can tune her good. This cam likes rpm`s. Pulls solid to 6400. Check Sig for numbers. Thats corrected not funny numbers. I can run A/C all day long. I took her to HRP one time. Ran 12.0 on motor and 11.4 on spray. I spun bad. She told me don`t do it again or they would run me off! No cage. My race weight was 3850lbs at that time. I just bought E/T`s with welds and skinny`s. Put Wolfe cage in, now I`m ready. I hope high 10`s on spray! You will not regret this cam, or doing business with MTI! There the best. Many have tasted my Birds ---***. I have dyno sheets if you like to see. Let me know!

Beard...your numbers look almost exactly like mine before the LS6 intake..can't wait to redyno w/the LS6 intake...also w/a lil weight loss and sticky tires you can do MID tens on dope..I did 11.2's on motor @ 3500lbs

i'm runnning it and love it, and it is .571 on the exhaust (just got done double checkin on the the web site). btw josey i thought you had GTP heads? if you have an auto definitely get a stall first and go 114 lsa and 112 on the 6spd.

so will I be able to drive this thing for about a week until I can get to raging motorsports for a tune(I'm thinking about installing it myself at a buddys mechanic shop in Iowa...I will have to drive home about 3 hours and drive it to and from work all week) or will it have major issues until I get a tune???

I had the X1, its a great cam, I made a lot of TQ with it....I ran an 11.6@117.5 with a 1.62 60'...

Lower 60's would make low 11 second passes....

I had the MTI s2 heads too, those were great...

Great cam! I made 445 rwhp with it NA on a daily driven 6 speed car. It might be a little much cam without tuning though even for a week.

(BTW, it's got a great lope! You'll love the sound!)

I use the MTI X1.

So far it has run pretty good. I'm happy with it for a heads/cam car.
