ya sure they hate them 
.... thats why my car made 395rwhp / 377rwtq with my thunder racing 230/224 .576/.563 111lsa .
However, you've got to fit the cam to the application ... i have straight exhaust so i had figured my car didn't need as much exhaust duration. I'm putting a catted Ypipe and catback back on my car here in 2 months and can't wait to see how much hp I lose with the more restricted exhaust.
