Cam experts come in

What do you all think of the HPE Megadeath (244/242 .612/.610 112 LSA) cam in a 364ci LS2? 346ci LS6?

The first question is what do you intend to do with the car? If it's not heavily modified and if it's a daily driver DON'T DO IT. It may turn out some big hp numbers, but be a dog off the line. You can get a sense of this by looking at the cam's RPM range. If it runs say 3,000 to 7,000, you're probably going to be unhappy. If it kicks in just after idle say, 1500 to 1800, you'll be much happier. On the other hand if you're going full race it might be good choice. Just remember, when it comes to cams bigger is NOT always better.
