I had this cam installed back in Aug it makes some good power. It made 21rwhp over my B1 cam and this was done with the tranny slipping very badly. I think this is a much stronger cam than some think. I had the tranny rebuilt but did not dyno the second time. The tranny failed the first time I went to the track" but I did make a pass and lifted completely off the gas well before going through the traps and ran a 11.29 @ 115.53 mph. The tranny started slipping from 2-3rd .That was my 1st run of the day and the only one I made where i didn't have to lift off for the car to shift into third gear 
My shift point was 6500" but it was slamming through the rev limit which is set at 6900 rpm and even went as for as 7300 rpm's on my last try turning on the check engine light which cut the power and ended my day of racing. I did have to passes off 123mph through the traps even after hitting the limit the way it did 
. I have a new tranny in the car now and after the new year i will try for a 10.90 pass on 17" M/t drags with this new cam. I did have to have the flycutting done because I have MTI's Stage 11 R heads with the larger valves.
