Roy do yourself a favor and JUNK that Pat G cam before taking up time putting it in. I spent the money for a lovely SPEC'd cam for C5 from him and it peaked 500rpm early and lost its breath shortly there after and surged like a dirty *****. So much for the request of a driveable 6400rpm peaking car. Nice guy no doubt but the cam was way off base!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^Ugh that's no good.

I know it's not a custom, one-off cam, but check out Vengeance Racing's line. I put the VRX5 in my car and it peaks perfectly. In fact, it would have continued to build a little power after 7k. It's also close to those specs that you listed, maybe just a TINY bit smaller.

Actually if it doesn't make over over 460 I should just use
it for a boat anchor.
