"Zix" here on C4 forum runs a very similar cam in a very similar engine, and he makes some wicked, awesome power (over 460 rwhp!)!

You beat me to it!!

Yep, that cam is almost identicle to the cam that I am currently running...the lift numbers are slightly different, but only by about .010 so it certainly isn't much. My cam likes to rev, peak power is about 7200 for me, but that's when it flattens out...it doesn't drop off at all. I haven't run it all the way, only because I'm not 100% sure on some of the valve train components to go that high. When I replace my rockers with shaft rockers I may dyno it again and see how high it'll actually go!

Yeah, it will probably be the ONLY time you will EVER be accused of being "too slow".
