Why is noone using ZZ2 cam?

I haven't seen it or heard any discussion about it anywhere. Is there a problem with the grind? Its 235/235 .480/.480 114LSA.

Looks like too much duration not enough lift to me. Wouldnt be computer friendly at all.

I think that is exactly the problem. That is a ton of duration at that lift. My roller cam is 218/224 @ .495/.503.
