Default Any Input on this cam 216 / 220 579 intake 581 exhaust 114 LSA??????

I just picked up this cam at a great price new in the box and I'm going to put it in my 99 M6. I've got comp 918's and hardened pushrods,etc. Does anyone have any input on how its going to run, what type of powerband is it going to have or if anyone is running one what does it put down and what are your mods.

Any input would be appreciated, I'm not looking for "there are a lot better cams out there speaches or anything" just input on this one specifically. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

216 Intake Duration @ .050

I don't know what if any other mods you have (e.g. intake, ported heads, headers, etc.), but specs on that cam are close to my Comp 218 single pattern (in sig below). Peak HP at 5800 RPM and good power through 6500. Good off-idle and great midrange torque (although my cam is 112 LSA). I think you've got a great street cam for stock 3.42 cogs. Ramps look to be fairly aggressive with relatively high lifts for the durations. The 918's should work but you may want to change springs every 20K miles or so to be on the safe side.

Just get that bumpstick in there and get to a track or dyno and let us know the results. <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Only engine mods that will be on are Lid, Pulley, Ported TB, Cam, comp 918's, hardened pushrods, hopefully an LS6 intake as well. Stock Exhaust until I can find a deal on some Long Tubes.
