NOT.


Just get ahold of Pat G or someone that can spec you a suitable cam, if you don't want a thousand different opinions in a thread.
Plus 1 for Pat G. He's nailed it on every cam ive seen him recommend.

I blew mine .. For the same price you pay for factory replacement Driveshaft Specialties of Texas in San Antonio can custom build a 4" or 5" aluminum driveshaft .. Cost me $718 shipped to my door but i needed front and rear yokes and all and i opted for 5" straight through heavy duty high speed balanced .. Not bad for better sense of security than those tapered 5" to 4" stock ones like on my '08 .. I had asked on here if there was a sponsor on here that makes driveshafts before i posted my issue and there wasnt one .. I found the guys i mentioned and they make an awesome product .. Without converting to a 2-pc steel shaft thats the best bet for the issue .. Hit 120 with mine with no issues .. But every shaft does have its limits .. Just adding .02 ..

I'm sure he will. He takes a ton of info from you. Most people are surprised at how incorrect their currently installed cams can be. Best $25 you will ever spend. Even if just for the info.

Good to know. I won't be going that route for probably another two years or so, but it's good to know. I definitely want to retain VVT if I cam the beast, no doubt.

If I'm not mistaken he's running a VVT cam in his wife's 500 rwhp G8.
