I saw that thread too, SS...

The only thing to mention is that in the last part about lift moving the powerband upwards - they meant upwards in power, not upwards in RPM. I got confused when I first read it a while back.

More lift will generally move more power, but in higher rpms

The exhaust duration on that cam sounds crazy -28 more degrees than intake lobe What is the seat to seat duration (if they will tell you)? I cannot believe that the heads flow that poorly on the exhaust side. I vote for a glitch in the software J/K...

Seat to seat is 265º/286º...the lobes are almost concave in design (REALLY FAST ramp rates), I certainly wouldn't want to run this thing with cheap springs

On another note.....that same cam design but with a 216º intake duration made NO MORE power...it only moved the powerband up 700rpm (these guys have some REALLY cool cam designs coming out)

I am guessing all numbers are assuming headers/exhaust and good tuning.....even I won't believe you could stab one of these things into a showroom stock truck and make ~400hp

Can you let us know what company is producing the cam, maybe with a website, once you try the cam out? If it works well, I would be interested in checking them out.
