Default Anyone running a T-REX cam?

I am trying to decide between a T-REX and G5X3 cam. I am road racing, not drag racing, so I need the motor to hold together. Any suggestions?

I've got a 2002 Z06 that I just installed a TRex cam a couple of months ago. (242/248, 608/612, 110lsa)

Also installed dual valve springs, hardened pushrods, dual row timing chain, underdrive pulley, Kooks 1 7/8" headers, x-pipe, and no cats.

Already had Borla 4-tip stingers and a Vararam.

Has a fairly radical cam lobe and idle to it. Extremely loud with the no cats. Wouldn't want to have to drive constantly in stop-n-go trafffic, as it doesn't like to hover under 2500 rpm's. Little resonance in the 2000-3000 rpm range.

Lot's of power, mostly at the high end of the rpm band.

That's what I was concerned about. I am thinking of having a custom one ground on a 112 LSA.
