Well call Car Craft magazine and LPE and let them know. It seemed to work pretty well for them.

Number were put down on an engine dyno. The cam does seem big and they did say that the lsx intake might have been outflowing the motor but it put down some pretty good numbers. I'll probably end up running something very similar with a little less lift and a rowdier lsa.
