Is anyone running Brian Tooley Stage IV Cam?

With good CNC heads he'd be right at a 126mph trap speed.
A few guys have made 440-450rwhp and 410-420rwtq cam only with LS6 intakes. Much like they have with Brian's camshaft. Most make 420-440rwhp/400-410rwtq.
Really splitting hairs between the two profiles. Honestly, I'd go with whoever offered you the best customer service which between myself and Brian...is going to be hard to choose from LOL!

BTR Stage IV or SNS Stage 3 is probably going to be it. Just have to decide.

Here is my dyno thread. Some things to note, I didn't spin it high enough to get peak power, and it is a mustang dyno, through a 12-bolt and a 3" steel driveshaft, also on the stock clutch (that was immediately begging for help on the drive home). I purchased some 1 7/8" kooks and custom true duals that I am installing and will have it dynoed again in the spring, spinning it to 6800. I firmly believe the stainless works headers held me back. 2.5" collectors, 2.5" y-pipe and cats.
I can put the car in 6th at 40 (with the 4.11's) and its pretty dang smooth. But that is all in the tuning. Car is an absolute freight train even shifting at 6400. Can't wait to feel it again come spring time.

I've been running Brian's stage IV since mid/end of summer in my 00 Camaro. Haven't gotten an appropriate set of injectors in the car yet so it's still only roughed in, but the car idles nice around 950 and has no trouble cruising through town or on the highway in 6th gear with 3.42's. I have a vid of it i've been meaning to get to Brian but it's stuck on a dead phone at the moment.

The 11:1 might have had to do with piston to valve clearance and stock bottom ends.
According to all the DCR preaching I've read on this site in the past several years, which so far I am a believer in, this cam would want an 11.2-11.6 compression ratio with 11.5 being optimal on 93 octane pump gas. I would LOVE to hear Tooley's chime in on this subject, and maybe even Pat G, Predator Z, Josh@Spartan(Damien), Martin@Tick, Ron@Vengeance, Alan@Futral, ED@FTI, etc. etc. and see this turn into one of the best cam threads in years and sticky material... wishful thinking
