It should be a good cam. What kind of truck and what ratio ring and pinion? Stock heads? What compression?I would have gone with a little better known and proven cam but I am sure it should be pretty strong.

Werd, with those cam specs you're definitely going to want a custom tune IMO. I'll be getting in touch with Justin@Blackbear when I do my LQ9 with my relatively small 220/224 cam that I've chosen for it. Would love to get lucky enough to have the swap done around the same time he's in the area for one of his group tuning days
