I expect 750 rpm to work and now it does with ease.

Update on the new cam...
Everything is looking good. Happy to see that there are no bad idle issues.
Also very happy to see that I can run 8.5 to 9 psi at 11.9-12.2 AFR with 17 degrees of timing. That is pretty kick *** right there.
I'm really looking forward to running the truck again this Friday. I just hope the weather holds out for me because this truck just might make it into the 13's.

Yeah Yeah... LOL
I hope that my post has brought a new issue up for some people and might help them make a better choice whether it be the GT 2/3 or cam "l-m-n-o-p".
I had never considered that there might be issues because, honestly, who thinks about cumulative drag and the issues it can cause? Well, at least 500 people now... LOL

See if that works. I found it a long time ago on a video that 98snakeeater made.

It definitely a good cam for NA and was definitely close but still okay for FI... with the exception of combos with high drag as mentioned earlier.
Sometimes you gotta experiment to find out where the edge is
