I think what sportside was asking is how high are you planning on spinning the motor with this cam? If not thats my question then.
6500rpm(+/- 100rpm) will be as high as I spin the motor

Did Ed have any say in what max-RPM he thought you should see?
Honestly, I think that will be a decision made at the track. I will just have to play with shift rpm to see what yields the best performance. I expect the powerband to be fat so I may be somewhat less susceptible to shift rpm's.
For the street, I may go more conservative. Maybe utilize the tow/haul mode for that.
(for comparison sake, I am currently shifting @ 5600rpm WOT)

In the end I will probably listen to what Crash Dummy recommends as he has most experience with these things.

without speaking for Ed, he kept the powerband where the Radix will be most efficient(also noting the use of the 90mm TB conversion)

Can you possibly do something like:
22x/23x by 55x"/56x" ?

Just to feed my curiousity.

Yeah! I think just something in the ball park would make most everyone happy. I could care less about the lift, we all know about what that will be. Just duration @.050 ball park and lobe sep ball park would be nice.

Oh, and saying 200-240* range and 110-117 lobe sep would be pointless to put up.

Hmmm. I'll soon have a very similar setup as Grippy. Thinking of a cam. After reading this entire post I now know that the cam looks like any other cam from the pics, some guy named ED designed it, it will pull to 6500 +-100 rpm and will fit a 500/500 goal.

Moving on to something hopefully helpful to my quest.

Don't forget it is a daily driver Cam(i.e. plenty of idle vacuum), very important IMO, I really didn't want a quirky setup at all. Now, if you take these 4 or 5 items of criteria, add your own requirements, relay that to your cam grinder of choice, you'd be well on your way to achieving your goals, you've already got a solid foundation to build from, from what I can see reading your sig

Cam grinder of choice definition: one that's got a clue and doesn't play "I got a secret" on the specs. Sorry...had to.
