To bad they couldn't VHT it for you, I'm sure you'll get some faster times yet make sure to keep us updated I really like your setup.

great thread and it has really grabbed my attention. good numbers and times put down by quite a few people who seem to be very pleased with the cam, the gains, and the times...

What pushrods are you running with stock heads and gaskets with this cam? I'm looking at a similar xfi/xer set up.

For springs do you think Patriot Golds a good choice or do you recommend the gold extremes? I already have a set of golds on hand...

I used 7.4's and I hardly have any noise at all coming from the valvetrain.

Yes gold PPs will work fine, especialy on stock valves.

I don't have any track numbers or dyno numbers, but I love this cam.

Even with my "ok" tune and LS1 intake it pulls awesome. Friend of mine who has an MS4 car said, wow this bitch pulls... Granted I cannot hook from anything under a 50mph roll. I am blamming it on the shitty street tires and lack thereof suspension. Unless it just makes that much powa?lol

It is always recomended to replace the lifters. Dont really need to but it will be a gamble.
