No experience with that particular cam, but there have been a number of reports of other cams with enhanced fuel lobes literally pulling the pump off the block.

You should find out for sure whether or not to run a lash cap (my guess is not, but check with the vendor so you get it right). That could be the cause of the other reported problems, not sure.

Lol is it the one with the increased fuel lobe? How's the sound? Drivability? And how much did you gain hp?

Yes it is and drivability is on the edge only because I have an A-8 and is choppy somewhat. As for sound and power it was installed as a package along with ported heads dual valve springs headers no cats 15% pulley bigger cooler and Akra exhaust. Sounds like a beast runs like a scalded dog. As far as Dyno #'s had solid 200+ rw gains.

I have one as well. The lift is limited because its still a VVT cam.
There is more lope than stock but its not "wild". (You can tell it has a cam though.)

Power wise not sure on the cam alone. I did headers, x-pipe, CAI, 18% lower pulley & tune at the same time.

This produced 660rwhp on 93pump.

Oh and the drivability is like stock with better sounds....
