I'm sure otehrs may be interested as well. The info in the search section is kind of old by now. What's the latest from those running this cam?

more rwhp. Guys with proper setups, stock heads and all the bolt-ons should
be in the 320+ range.
Dan,
Thanks for the subliminal message. Maybe I'll crack one of these days and go
for the headers. The Macs are the obvious choice for many reasons, but I'm
still more concerned with the CARB legality and units like the JBAs. I wish there
was a good comparison of the 94-95 Macs to the 94-95 JBAs.
My preference is to stay with the 1 5/8 primaries to maintain that great torque
curve of the 227. It's probably worth my time to drive down to San Diego
and take a look at a set of JBA's.

0.511/0.553
which is higher than many cams for the exhaust. Like Fastbird said, it has the lift where it needs it, and it shows from the added duration and lift in the exhaust. The cam was designed great for the LT1 heads.
:edit: You beat me to it Mike.

I ran the times in the sig with it with ported heads and babying it off the line. And it drives like stock, when I had it in it never surged on me once, and it had amazing lowend.

I'm bring this back to the top bcuz of some questions.
Anyone running this cam with stock cats? I have this cam in my 97 SS, and need a tune bad, but was wondering what kind of numbers your putting out with cats. I have ported heads and SLP headers with the cam.
thanks
