I couldn't really answer that question for you. I do know that road racers like to stay away from anything above .600 lift. I don't think you would have an issue if you do occasional road racing, but someone else may be able to chime in.

With all respect to Lethal Racing, I just didn't want to fall in line with everyone else on the forums who goes with JRE or NF cams. I know they are both proven to make good power (well, Lethal Racing is atleast. Can't say the same for JRE), but I wanted something with great driveability, that has proven to make the same power as the popular cams on the forums. A lot of people will argue till they are blue in the face about driveability, but a buddy in my car club has the NF cam, and it wasn't his Daily driver, so he couldn't convince me to get that cam based on the fact that it wasn't his only car.
The 545 cam makes the same numbers as the other popular cams, the torque may be lower, but I'm not looking to break any records or be the fastest at the strip. My car dyno'd at 405, and ended up with 498. Granted, some of that is in the heads, but I still almost made it to 500 just like the other big name cams do with headwork.
I'm glad I went with the 545 cam, and even though it's not the popular pick on the forums, if you go on their FB site, and YouTube, they sell just as many 545's as other people sell their trademark cam.
