I have the cam and did the dyno thing with it. I came out with 253 RWHP and 300 RWTQ. I have since done a little tuning and think I am a little better. You can hear a little bit of idle at the end of my Timeline Video in my sig. It will idle right down to 600 RPM if you want it to. It starts to sound like a cam should around this point. I have about 5000 miles on mine and am pretty happy with it.

numbers maybe lower, I tried everything to get the most out of the is combo but found the advertised numbers abit streched. It's a good low range cam for average performance like 7plagues said also, at 218/224 duration and 462//469 lift that's not alot, I went to a 4 bolt main, 10:1 comp, same heads and using the other components but with a Comp Cam with solids, 236/242 duration, 501/510 lift....this motor is going in soon and get me down the road ALOT faster.....
