My new custom Ed Curtis Cam Specs...they're not small! 
236/244 .631/.631 113 LSA 111 ICL
Powerband from 3500-7000rpms
There's a lot more going on with this cam than just the cam specs you see. 
Shift point is 7400rpmsSupposed to make a lot more power than the coveted G5X3. We'll see.
The cam is setup for maximum power on pump gas both on and off the bottle, i.e. no more than a 150-175 shot.
Will keep everyone updated. With the addition of this cam and my new additions including a LSX 90/90 setup, EWP, and better headers, I'd love to be at 480+rwhp N/A through a 12 bolt and 60lb 18x10.5 wheels/tires, NO dyno tricks, full exhaust, 28 degrees of timing, and 10.9:1 compression.......and of course some very low 10 second track times on bottle

true dat! But not really bigger than the X4 (sans lift), so we'll see how this compares to the gains going from an X3 to an X4

So yes, there will be a direct cam comparo.

I really don't think it's fair to expect an off the shelf cam designed with stock heads in mind to make the same #s as a cam designed specifically for a set of heads.
