That is enough cam, that it would be very responsive to intake and exhuast
tract changes.  Also, getting to where starting to get peaky (at least
compared to a stock cam).
Might take an injector constant change, and VE/Timing changes to get things
lined up, properly.
Also, might now be way **under** the curve for operating rpm vs VE.
