Back to the cam talk…
Increased lift or duration can only help if the head can make use of it. All the builders that I've spoken with say that a race cam comes AFTER head work, or you're wasting effort. The MILV is the older solution for increasing lift a tiny bit, but Schrick does it without altering the VANOS geometry (better solution IMO).
Also I'm told by a builder who's installed it that the S55 idles terrible on the Schrick even though there's a 50HP add at the mid to top end. There were 2 of our big name tuners who worked on it, but it still almost stalls out. This part is NOT for the daily driven car.

My E90 on 292 cams needs an idle around 1k rpm so it doesn't stall. Before that, it wouldn't stall often but it felt like it was trying to stall all the time.
