Thats a big cam. I notice that the top rpm is 6200 which seems kinda low for a 242 degree cam. Probably because of the radical lift of the grind.

I would be more inclined to the 12-467-8 cam with the 230 degree on the intake. Me I'm looking into the 08-466-8 cam for my combination.

Holy cow, you actually bought a new ZZ9? Damn...

I like the XFI cams too. They look great on paper.

Yeah, with the TPI it helps to get off the line real good. If the race was longer than 1320 ft a lot of the cars would run me down. Hehehehe. But its not and thats what the car is set up for. Allen
