I just put this cam in last week. I am still tuning on it, but all I can say is WOW. My valvetrain noise I had with the last two cams is gone. (probably the worst noise I have ever heard) The car was no slouch before, but now it is amazing. I feels like I picked up 70 or 80 horse. I will get to the track before the dyno. Might not get to dyno till late fall, or early spring. I wouldnt doubt I pick up 8 or 9 mph in trap speed from looking at my logs.

Justin will be coming back for some 1 7/8" headers, new exhaust, intake porting, and a 9" rear... He posted an idle clip for those interested:

I got the cam installed as well as my Headers. I need to paint my intake and connect the Y-pipe so I'm guessing this weekend my car will be back on the raod. I'll report back and let you guys know how this Cam is working out for me.

Got her running today and seat of the pants feel is good. I can tell I gained some with the cam, bigger headers and porting my FAST. Also, my driveablity is better than the MS3 it replaced I noticed my valvetrain is also quiter which is a nice plus. I should be getting some dyno numbers soon so I'll let you guys know my results.

Got back from the dyno earlier and posted the graph below. I'm very happy with the results and the way my car is running. Ryne @ CMS did an awesome job at tuning her as always. My driveabilty is better than it was with the MS3. This cam soo far is amazing! I came out with 30 Rwhp & 8 Rwtq gain including the 1 7/8's headers and ported intake. As you can see after 4400 or so I have some nice gains all the way up. I'm still trying to figure out why both cams fall off @ 6400. Its prob because my small heads can no longer support my setup (flow 307 @ .600 and fall off after that). Either that or my springs are getting warn out. I could only imagine what more I have on the table with some TFS 235's or equivelant.
