you will need siemens for anything beyond 350hp, do you have valve pockets machined into your pistons?

About 100lbft, amazing no one else managed to do this in all those years!!
Forget this crap put about figure, imagine that that you would already need a engine in dire need of a tune for a cam to make this much difference, so you are not "getting" anything rather you are restoring what you always should have had on that spec.
The timing figure is almost identical to a BD cam, I think it was the 14 when I looked, just a fraction less lift, which could make the difference between needing pockets or not, but it's not anything magical cam wise, just like a BD13.5 sort of thing, but if it makes the difference between contacting valves/pistons or not it's serves a good purpose.
Personally I'd always use a reprofiled cam over a new one, as it's already work hardened, the astra engine I'm building is running a pinto profile for example on a reprofiled cam, not had a single issue in 25 + years with them.

Same boost pressure as well.

Also the cam timing was spot on for the Standard cam.
