Default new comp cams?

Does anyone have any of the new comp cams (extreme rpms from their 2003 catalog)

Mainly I'm interested in the 224/228 .534/.537 112 cam. I haven't heard of anyone using these cams yet. I think they'd do very good on stock head cars.

They seem similar to the older cams, just milder lift, you can get away with running up to .590ish lift on stock heads, its been done, look at the G5X2...

I was wondering the same thing, maybe it's too new to get any reports . . . this should be a killer cam for stock heads that wouldn't require the yearly spring changing. I did see a car with a custom Comp grind that was similar: 224/224 .533/.533 112 and it put out over 400 rwhp NA with all the bolt-ons, ported heads and tuning.

I know that you can run a lot more lift than these cams have, but I don't think it is of any benefit to run high lift cams with stock heads.
