Title say it all... has anyone tried one yet for the Slant? Just wondering what it sounds like at idle? I’m not worried about overall performance, just wondering if it had a nice lump it...

There's no telling what the advertised might be, but it reads like -10* overlap@.050, so judging from the right-up (below), I can't imagine it would have any rumble at all, but I'm just guessing.
From Hughes;
The first user of this cam picked up 2" of vacuum (from 18" to 20". Cranking compression up 20# from 115# to 135# over a fresh rebuild on a stock engine. Just like adding higher compression ratio pistons and feels A LOT stronger all for the price of a cam and kit.
I'd buy it for the pressure increase alone. And the lift is a bonus.

That's almost as small as a stock slant cam on the .050". That thing's tiny.
 
I am currently running a 212/208 on a 110LSA and is sounds...OK I guess. I am going more for mileage over power.

I have no experience with the Hughes Slant Six cam, but the hot valve lash targets just seem wacky.

Almost like it’s a hyd profile being run with solid lifters.

Pretty high lift for that little duration though.

Edit- The specs match some fast rate Mopar hyd lobes in the Howard’s(where Hughes gets his cams from) lobe listings.

I used a Hughes cam and instantly noticed an increase in the firmness of my erections. On top of that, people were more friendly to me, I got a raise at work, and my parents suddenly began speaking to me again. I reported all that to Hughes and I expect they'll be advertising it soon.

Now, that's funny!
