yeah I have talked to the guys at a few places, it's about the same cam that comes in the new 6.0. lift, duration and stuff, still sound pretty stock but shold show a good increase in power but not to radical by any means. I was planning on putting it in but I think I am jsut going to sale it and hold out until I can get somemoney for a little more duration and some cosmetic peices. I am guessing 20-30hp increase maybe.
