This is a great starter cam no doubt. You'll eventually go bigger as most do, but for now that cam is a good one to have. Just for reference I run the Vengeance VRX4 which is a 228/230 .588/.592 on a 112lsa. It makes good useable power all over also. Probably the last cam I'll buy til I build my 383.

Disclaimer: I am in no way shape or form a cam guru. Don't take my word for it talk to the folks that have spent countless hours of R&D. I am only explaining it as I understand it.
