Anyone Runnung this cam ?
My buddy has that cam in his 6-speed '95 Vette. He's on here so maybe he will chime in. Anyhow he put down 322rwhp and 335rwtq and shifts at about 6100. The car has a **** ton of mid range with a real flat torque curve and a good top end. Its a good choice for someone not wanting to rev it too high and for running with stock gears because it has power all throughout the powerband. It didn't dyno as high as expected considering it had LT's, Catback, 1.6RR's, Tune etc. but dyno numbers are dyno numbers and there are tons of variables. The car hasn't been raced since the swap but its feels quite strong.

The car did a 12.6 at 107mph with LT's, Flowmaster Mufflers, Open element air filter, and DR's only and this was at full weight with a 200lb. driver. Pretty damn impressive but the conditions were near perfect and he knows how to drive. He's hoping to dip into the 11's or atleast a 12.0-1 with the addition of the xfi cam, 1.6RR's, and tune on a good day.

Oh it was my pleasure... But I don't know for certain what the 1/4 times would be; as the closest 1/4 is in Bradenton which is 2.5 hours up the road and that's a long haul. But one of these days we're taking her up there to see how she does. Others have told me the 8.0 should measure out to mid-high 12s depending on conditions; with the best case being a track which equates to our local tracks altitude and of course temp, humidity and track conditions.
Hopefully, if the good Lord can see his way clear, we'll be adding a set of Trick Flow 21* heads in the spring and they should feed this cam all she needs.
As it stands now, I run the Friday night TNTs and she stands as one of the fastest 'normally aspirated' cars in the 'drove it here, and still loaded with all of the furniture (seats, carpet, etc...)' herd. As a general rule, if its not sprayin', blowin' or suckin,' I own 'em. As I said, just last week we added a set of MT ET Streets to the mix and man... VIVA LE DIFFERENCE! She BLASTS out of the whole, no barkin' second and I can't even begin to tell you how sweet that is... AT LAST~
I'm bankin' that we eek into the tall 7s tonight... ALL MOTOR on a 'basically stock' LT-1...

I run this cam in my 383, smooth idle but enough to let you know something is there, passes Calif smog (Ed wright tune). Must use 918 springs or patriot.
No dyno #'s but it runs faster than my 350 head/cam motor which had 350hp/351tq at the wheels with a smaller cam.
Custom grinds from LE or AI have good reports from those running them.

60' 1.8116
330' 5.1414
1/8th ET 7.9076
1/8th MPH 89.04
So yeah... I really like it.
(Let the record reflect I ran a 99 TA which was runnin the HOT-Cam tonight and beat him like a sassy wench... he ran mid to high 8s.)

I just installed this cam 6-ish months ago and the Comp tech department recommended the 915 springs... the new Beehives were out of stock and I gotta say I haven't had any complaints.
