I may not recommend Chuck for Tuning anymore but this cam sure is nice

I am putting down 480rwhp and 460tq NA

The cam was designed to get the most out of stock casting heads, with a good tune it drives very well with a nice rumble at lights

I'll stick with my MS3.... The Megadeath cam requires lots of Gear in the rear to utilize its power.

I have a buddy with a C6 A4 3.15 gearing, with his old MTI X1 cam/ported LS6 heads he made 430rwhp and ran mid 11s. He switched to the Megadeath cam and Trickflow heads and FAST 90 and laid down 460rwhp, but his 1/4 mile times were in the high 12s. The car is a slug/mosh pit under 4k.
To get this car to come out the hole and move, he needs at least some 4.10s.

good point ^^ no one metioned that but one would think if your looking at a cam that big you already know you need gears, but gears will help any cam. Just some are mandatory unless you like giving up the first 100 feet or so
