Default Lunati Cam?

Any one running a Lunati cam in their LS block? I have an engine builder who uses these cams and is encouraging me to put one in my AE. Tell me the good, bad and ugly of using this cam.

I have a Lunati 55006 cam in my 98 Z. It has 224/224 degrees duration @ .050" and .560"/.560" lift @ valve, with 112 LSA. I love it! I has 4 degrees advance ground in. and it works great on the street. I only have like 300 miles on it so far and I am well pleased so far. I paid 350 for it at Summit.

MTI switched to Comp over 2 years ago. My T1 cam was ground by them for MTI.
