HPE Megadeath Cam 244/242 112lsa i have a friend who is picking up an 05 GTO next week. he already bought all the supporting mods without even owning the car, LT's, CB, CAI, TB, UD pulley etc. 
, and he's set his mind on this cam. i told him about going with something like an MTI X1 or a custom reverse split if he really wants a reverse grind. i remember Predator-Z thread where he was talking about reverse cams and what not and there was some good info in it, i know HPE have said it this cam wouldn't have any PTV issues with stock heads, would that be a good cam for a 364ci engine, or would he better off with a smaller reverse grind ?. i know for a fact he won't stripe the car down to do 1/4 mile racing.
specs on the cam are:
244/242 612/610 112 lsa

The last thing you want is to kill the driveability of a car with a huge cam like that. You cannot go wrong with the power, sound, driveability of the X1 camshaft!

It's soooo easy to ruin the street manners and power under the curve with a cam that's too big. The smallest cam that gets the job done is the one you want.
I tuned a cam-only GTO with a FAST intake that made 451 rwhp and 415 rwtq. The cam was only a 224/230 .581/.592 114LSA +2. It was very tame, yet made lots of power under the curve.
