Just curious about the cam. Has anyone run this cam before? What kind of numbers do you normally see with this cam? How is drivability? Are there better reverse split grinds floating around out there? Looking for good power under the curve, not a dyno queen. Any help will be appreciated, thanks guys!!

This cam has been around since 2001. It is a proven cam in making strong power under the curve. There are literally YEARS of results. FWIW, I ran the first one in my '98 SS Camaro Convertible. Ran awesome! Still a powerful cam because of the solid valve events.

Well I Made 390/380 To The Wheels On A Cam Only 99 Ss With 76k On The Motor And A 12.20 With A 1.7 60ft I Know With Some Suspension Mods And A Trans Rebuild It Would Run A Good High 11 For Shizzle
I Highly Recommend This Cam....has Awesome Street Manners And Sounds Rowdy As Fawk!!!

No problem. I don't think you could go wrong with the grind at all. It's been said several times that there has never been one person ever post negatively about this camshaft.

Great cam for stock heads and likes high compression too. I wouldn't mill but I would go with .040 gasket, that would be similar to running 61cc chambers, bumping your SCR/DCR in a performing zone.

I had a thread where I had hypothesized doing exactly what Predator said, .040 gasket, unmilled, and had a DCR in the 11.1x:1 range (or is it SCR? I mix 'em up...). I think I am actually gonna go back to looking at this route... I've seen too many good reviews and NEVER a bad one.
