Default howards cams?

i did a search but didnt really find anything about there cams,was wondering if any one has used one of there cams and what they think of it?im looking at a certin cam from them (info below)and wanted to see what you guys think of these specs.i think this would be a good cam for a cam only car, i figured to go bigger than the tsp228r that i was looking at and this should have some driveability. i just dont want to buy a 228r and wish i went with a bigger cam
plus im going to continue using nitrous
thanks joe

I used one of their cams in an L98. That's not LSx, but still, the quality seemed good, the results were very good, and I'd do it again.

"Computer-Controlled Compatible No"

You might want to make sure it's got provisions for the cam sensor to read cam position.

MPFD if you don't mind me asking how much did they charge you? At the moment I'm waiting to hear back about the current cam choice. May just do a custom ground if it comes down to it
