This camshaft was not intended for daily driving and I can assure you is not a marketing scheme. I am thinking about going bigger since I have yet to valve notch my pistons. 
My camshaft has been proven to last, run with the trex and yes I can still drive it on the street if I wanted to. As for going with this camshaft and having heads, I agree this cam might not be for you. There are plenty of guys out there with Heads and Cam that should be able to point you in the right direction. My cam is proven on CAM only and has not been tested with Cylinder Heads.
Thanks,
Joe

This are the specs that I thought you meant. He said 463rwhp w/ cam only. That's a lot more than I'm making with H/C combo. That's funny Joe himself said that it hasn't even been tested with heads. Guess I wasn't too far off.

for all those people that say they wont get a cambecause they dont know the specs, just find someone who has it, get a degree wheel and dial indicator, and figure it out for yourself. then post it so nobodyelse has to go through the trouble. and with either cam, i'd get 4.10's and a looser converter, and you'd be good. i say get the rex killer, btw.

Trex killer cam
4L80E w/ 11" converter (changing out soon)
12 bolt w/ posi and 3.73's
Put down
442 RWHP / 400 RWTQ on a Mustang Dyno (set up for DynoJet numbers)
I think that I will be able to come in around 460-470 with a new 9.5" converter and 90/90 set up.

isnt that pretty much the same as the trex will put down? i know it puts down 405 with LTs with 11.3 to 1 compression heads it should put down similar numbers.

I have about as heavy of a drivetrain you can get and from talking to others that is eating up around 15-25 hp alone.
