If you need a little lope, buck, and surge in your life, go for it. With a spot on tune it will be where you can shift out of the rough spots if you're M6. I wouldn't use it with an A6 without a fairly healthy converter. I hate healthy converters on anything but a track car.

It's a personal preference thing. If you like the lopey idle and all that goes with it, you might like it. Just know that you can make just as much power with a more mission specific mild blower cam....and have near perfect manners. Some will say that 9 degrees of overlap is easily tunable for perfect manners. That hasn't been my experience.

A new cam, with specs of your choice, will set you back $375. It's counterproductive (at least in my mind) to install a cam that's less than perfect for the app.

That cam will work for your build, if you just don't want to get a FI cam. i have tuned peoples BIG NA cams on blowers cause they didn't want to pull them and as long as its tuned right its fine. That cam will have some nice lope its not to far off our STG 2 FI cam actually.

That's pretty close to what we run. We make 700rwhp with that cam and a 2300.

That's a few degrees off on intake duration from what I'm running. I like it. I've had no problems with drivability but I do run a 3000 rpm stall. That's more stall than you need to make the cam work but I wouldn't run a cam that large without a stall converter. The tvs 2300 will smooth it out a little for you though.
