Lol, No numbers yet, I'm gonna have it tuned This Saturday, but with a HP Tuners Street Tune and NGK AFX Wideband. I felt in love all over again with that sound at idle. I can't wait for the tune and break in to be done so I can go at WOT!!!

It's a good cam. Only bad thing is the intake lift when you have to swap out springs every 15k miles because it's running the spring to it's max lift every time.

Yep. Same heads, FAST intake, auto, and 10 bolt. Dynoed at 436 whp but that seems high and the shop is known to put out higher numbers on their dyno than the other shops in the area.

That's what mine were rated to.
Think about it .644 lift and rated .650. Fatiguing the spring much more with the bigger lift. Wears it down quicker. Therefore, springs changed out sooner than normal. I didn't want to risk a piston meeting a valve like what happened with my friends car so I swapped it out at around 12k miles. I'm sure I could have gotten more out of it but didn't want to take that chance spinning at 7k at the track.

how is one to know when springs are due for a change? and i know there is 660 lift springs. so if i swap to a higher lift spring in the future i should be fine for a several more thousand miles vs the 650 spring?

I'm running Patriot Dual Springs .650, Comp Cams Trunion upgrade and my rev limiter is set up at 6600. It's doing fine, it's a really fun cam once it's tuned on point. I'm going to open the valve covers at about 5,000 miles to check the springs, I currently have like 1,500 miles on it. Passing the new 5.0's left and right

It shut off at stop lights the first day but after the second day driving it, it didn't shut off but I had to keep my foot in the gas, I haven't Dynoed it yet. One of my buddies tuned it driving around. (Street Tune) After the tune It drives Awesome!!!
