MTI claimed they gained somewhere around 100 rwhp with that G1 Cam (stock heads) and full exhaust on a new GTO. Im sure they had some intake mods also. Has anyone else installed that cam? I just can't see the G1 making those #s without full bolt ons.

The GTO has a 455 stroked engine .They told me they thought it would be a good cam to help me hit the 10's this winter and I wouldn't have to flycut my pistons. The R1 was another cam they offered me as a choice for my goal.
