    this was such a popular cam for us to install when the GTO came out that a lot of guys chose this cam, then later decided on a tvs,112,aps turbo setup, but didn't change the cam.
    so, to answer your question, it worked pretty good in a FI application. The last gto we did had this cam, 8psi and headers, laid down a respectable 590hp in the end.

    the aps gto we did had this cam as well, and it was stronger than the aps, but we never dyno'd it.
