I have talked to Martin, Pat, and a few others. Most of them seem to forget that I have a large stall and could not care about power under the curve. I have yet to see any of their cams carry a 400+ CI motor well in to the 7k RPM band which is what I am doing (7,500-7,600). A motor needs overlap to do that, yet they seem stuck on 25-30* of overlap max.
Here is a great example of a cam I think Pat and Martin would not design, yet look at the power it makes and RPM it carries with 430ci. Cam is a 257/272 .630/.600 lift, 109lsa 105icl. I have yet to see Pat or Martin put something on a 105icl let alone a 109lsa.

Now, I am not bagging on them, but neither of them seem to do max effort deals. Either that or they don't share them.
