Does anybody know anything about this new Comp Cams camshaft?

http://www.compcams.com/information/whatsnew/NewsDetails.asp?ListHistoryID=-1779858990

I am in the process of installing this fuel injection system on my car now. I came across this new cam when I searched Comp Cams for a stronger cam than the XE266HR I am currently using. The XE274HR looked real good and then I read about this new one.

Since it is made specifically for stroked and fuel injected engines I am very tempted to install one. I have not been able to find anybody who has installed one or even a magazine article about one. I guess it is too close to its release for me to find out much more.

I will be adding a Gear Vendor overdrive unit during the winter as well, and since I will have the trans out or at least apart I could upgrade from my stock torque converter to something to take full advantage of the available power. I have been looking and decided to get one of these from Edge. http://www.edgeracingconverters.com/streetedge-C6.htm

So, does anybody know anything or have any opinion on this camshaft?

Been there, done that.

I made two phone calls, the first tech told me these cams were intended for high displacement strokers. After I got off the phone I went back and read the release a second time. It seems that he must not know these were intended for 5.0 strokers, while a 347 is larger than a 331, I don't think the 16 cubes is that big a difference.

The second guy was only marginally better, when I asked about the cam he told me they were great. I had to continually prompt him with questions and the answers about what equipment my stroker has on it.

It seems that training and product knowledge could use a little improvement.

Any Specs?

For them to say they have two "miracle cams", is a little on the ambiguous side... typical of marketing.
Somewhere they should have all the specs, that is what I'd want to see.

Personally I see no reason why a cam would be different in an EFI application vs Carbed. Perhaps with a speed density system where you need to keep good vacum at idle...
