That cam has a lot of lift...what exactly is the rest of your set up? My sleeper cam is similar, undetectable yet makes great average power and doesn't have near the aggressive lobes.

You won't make 450rwhp with that cam through an auto.

Fair enough, I can custom grind you a mild cam that will make more power than the GT11 and be easier on springs if you're interested.
