I have been 1.50 60' with this cam. That was with 3:89 gears and 4000 SS converter so it is plenty capable of "down low" power.

My cam I just installed is very close to these specs, but I still need it tuned.
I currently have 3.73 gears but going with 3.89's soon. Also have a 4k stall. I think all that low end is not even going to be seen once I smash the gas

You do make a good point, because if you have an m6 with 3.42's, then you probably want a different cam with more low torque unless you're planning on putting different gears in it, especially being a heavier car. If you have a stalled auto it closes the gap as far as gearing goes, so this cam wouldn't really notice much low end loss (at least from what I've experienced).

OP like he said, if your car is a m6 then you need different gears to go with it and you'll be fine. Otherwise you'll be having to reel them in once you get your rpm's up. If your car is an automatic then just get at least a 3600 or higher stall and you'll be fine.
Yes it was a M6 and it needed gears badly. I had planned to put gears in it but ended up having to part the car.
