LMAO... I was reading the thread thinking these people are out of their damn minds, then I read the date on one of the post.
The trex is bad *** for an all out cam only car, but I think people don't realise it takes FULL bolt ons to make/run the numbers. Like 1 7/8" headers, fast 90/90, and the right gears. But also while the car does sound like a pro stock it is a very streetable cam when tuned right. The cams effects on drivability are VERY low on the list of what I don't like about driving my car on the street. The lack of power steering and detroit locker are far more annoying that the cam. In fact it is vary streetable, and I got 21mpg on my last trip with several WOT blasts and coming most of the way home in 5th gear (due to drone from my exhaust setup, not cause it won't cruize in 6th)
But yeah, the cam has been proven several times, but we all know this now.

I have the cam, it makes more power than my stock cam across the ENTIRE range, it wont get "whooped" in lower rpms. I have physical proof of that in my rear view mirror. The cam is awesome, plenty streetable with 4.10 gears. I wouldnt second doubt my decision if I had it all over again. I drive my car in the rain, around the city (Boston), on highway trips and through whatever else I have to.
Find out from people who have the cam.
