Default Anyone running FM-16 cam yet?

I did a search and came up with nothing. Seen this new large cam advertised in GM high tech making impressive numbers on an engine dyno

FMS-F16-112
New Item! FMS Custom Grind Camshaft - 238"/242" .600"/.612" 112LSA - aggressive profile with a 3600-7200 RPM range, rough idle.Violent mid range. P/V clearance must be checked.

Anyone running this cam yet? I wanted to see if someone with experience has run this cam with some figures. PTV, power to the wheels, track times etc etc

Made good power in the test with stock heads and pistons. I can't remember if they checked ptv but they had no problems.

Since it's a Futral cam, I'm sure he checked to make sure it clears stock heads. Isn't the T-Rex bigger? I clears stock heads.

It is really nothing new, similar to MS3, MS4, the original Flowtech Induction grind and many others....

Given about 15% driveline loss, that would translate into 436.3rwhp, in par with other cams that size.
