Default Anyone running JOE O. cams?

I just bought one and was wondering if you liked the driveability? Any dynos or track times?

This is the same cam GARY LAWSON has in his 97CONV. TA M6 with ported heads,full bolt-ons and tuning and it put down 452/398 and at 3800 plus race weight ran a 11.79/120 on 315/35r17 dr's. And is in James Eddy TA threw a A3 put down 438 rwhp and ran a 11.02/120. Both cars have stock higher mileage shortblocks.

Actually, Gary Lawson and James Eddy do NOT have the same cams in there cars I know Joe O. pretty well, and I know for a fact the cams arent the same. James Eddy had one in the 24X/25X range before he changed it out last fall, and the one in Gary's car has a 23X/24X cam I myself have the same cam as James Eddy, same combo, same heads etc (and I know what those specs are for sure
