This is similar to what circle track guys do in late models and super late models. Technically the cam is within specs and vacuum, but it's definitely not a stock cam. Cam technology has came a long long way over the past few years. You can really do whatever you want with a cam nowadays.

All of this is even more reason to not just Stick with the stock cams on our cobalts. All these guys claiming that there is nothing better out there, I don't know what to say. I do know that you can do anything you want with a cam these days and if you do it right, you can see a very nice power increase, especially with a "worked" head.
