That is a HUGE CAM!

You dont want anything more than a 59X's lift on a daily driver and keep duration in the 220-230's with the exhaust being a bit bigger.....

There are several vendors that sell and install very nice packages.....look around....

Duration of the cam in degrees

0.654/0.668
This is the lift
A decent cam for a DD would be around a 23X/23X .59X.59X
