Default T Rex cam

I am thinking of getting the T Rex cam in my car for next year. Does anyone here have it in their car? I have a forged 347 with stock unported LS6 heads. How does this cam work with stock heads? What kinda power does it make? Is it real lazy below 3500rpm? What size stall do u have? Anyone have a video of their car with the T Rex in it?

I spoke with a few guys that had this setup. they were making about 420-430rwhp and running 12.0s @ 120mph in a 6spd. The T-rex sounds Fuggin sick
Characteristics - a dog on the low end, this cam needs gears, violent in the mid-range and nice top end, but it's predominantly a mid-range drag cam.
