Default anyone using VA Speed cams?

I'm sure there a few of you folks are. I was checkin out their site and noticed a full line up of LS turbo grinds. The VTC1 and VTC2 look to be reverse splits, so who's running them and what do you think?

build run down:
Twin TC66's, .58 AR
stock LS1 bottom end
stock 317 heads
stock LS6 intake manifold
T56 & 342 gears

I ran a VA Speed blower cam in my last setup that made 1100rwhp and am going with one of their solid roller blower cams for my new setup. BTW my old VA speed blower cam is up for sale. Only has a few dyno runs on it. Sounds sick!

I ran a VA speed cam in my old setup...will be running a VA speed cam in my new setup too...

we were spooling on a converter that was tough for a BBC to spool with...and I had a little motor

his off the shelf grinds are based on stuff he's learned over the years with turbo race motors. They WORK!

Shawn specs the cams so they will make more low end power allowing changes in the other parts of the car to make it more efficient. I've got one also and am very very happy with it.

Im using a comp 232/228 with a 115 LSA and love it. Good top end with out killing torque. I have heard some good things about the speed cams but have never used one.

I have their VTC-2 in my 408 which is getting twin 66mm's. But I haven't run it yet, so I can't comment on performance. Shawn talked me out of the VTC-3 since I was going to be driving on the street. We'll shall see how it performs.
