It's really hard to say what the cam will make on any given setup, beings we've only tested it one car so far. Heck, maybe this cam will make more power on stainless works or pacesetter headers!
Who knows.... But I'd say you'll probably be in that ballpark with it for sure.Thanks,

Driveablity Well the car that this cam was put in was my 99ss. Hpe did a wonderfull job on all the work that was done. As for the driveablity, I dont think it could get any better. It has great idle caracteristics, along with all the great power. That probably has alot to do with Hpe tuning skills ( Charles Anders ). If you are ever in the Houston area stop by the HPE shop and meet them, they are a great crew.
So a stock car with LSX 90mm intake setup/headers/BIG cam and then maybe a cutout and full tune throw in makes 420 to the wheels at a 6900 shift point? Why not be more forthcoming on ALL the mods done or tell me what the cam added to the package? Sounds like the secrets are deeper then the cam specs.

You are right, I failed to mention the car has a cut out. However I will note, with the wide lobe seperation this cam has, it is only worth about 5 hp.
There is no such thing as a perfect cam. If there was, there wouldn't be 20 threads about cams going on the FIRST page alone of this section on ls1tech right now!
I am not out to get all the cam business on ls1tech with this cam. I am just trying to make the money I spend on this website each month worth it.

Listen guys,I don't want a pissing match.I see stock motor and then a multitude of mods added,some not listed in the first post[cutout/tuning]and heres the gains with a "cam available soon".I think most consumers would be impressed by a cam added "blah,blah" to a lsx/header/cutout and then tuned stock LS1.I'm sure its a great cam,good luck.

I made 431RWHP with a Cam, Headers, LS6 Intake, Ported Throttle Body, 9" Ford with 4.71 gears and Spec Stage 4 Clutch. This would be a nice cam for daily driving but seams a little small since you have a Fast 90MM. With a Fast 90MM and throttle body I will pick up around 15-20RWHP. Try testing it with a LS6 and let us know what it made.
What rearend did you have and gear setup?
Anyway Nice numbers for a cam only with a Fast 90MM.

How's it going up there in NC mr. Joe! You are right that we are not trying to make the end all - be all CAM ONLY deal with this cam but rather one we can sell with no other mods. We will do some even bigger cams probably here soon with some of the newer cars with less miles on them and newer LS1 heads like yours. This cam is smaller than yours and runs very nicely as far as drivability like you imagined. Do you have any reliefs on your pistons with your cam? I sure wish there was at least a little relief on these things! A granny could drive Scooters car with this cam making over 400 EASY even with the LS6 intake. We'll probably throw one on sometime soon. We just did this car the other day and were quite happy to see it run so civilized and nice but still put out 420 to the wheels already. Do you have an electric water pump on your car?
how much will this cam affect my streetability? in reference to idel, driving bumper to bumper traffic, mpg's( yes some of us do care about this sort of stuff! if you were forced to live in CA you'd know what I was talkin about)
