It was actually a pretty lumpy cam in a 454 alum headed big block. It worked fine but I think it would run even better with a less "wild" cam. The reason being is that it uses the MAP sensor to tell if you're in WOT, Cruise, or idle.. so it's looking for manifold pressure which is always low with a more radical cam.

Should be fine with a thumper cam.. the main restriction seems to be how much air can be pulled through it.
