Did it yesterday along with the P2... Butt dyno likes it and now i can really pull my friend with his e46 M3 with exhaust, BMC intake and upgraded ECU.
I wish WORKS had some dyno numbers, but 269 sounded like a pretty cool set up.
FYI, Brice at Alamo Autosports (Texas Tuner) had a few questions for Pete regarding the manufacturing of the cams ( At this time I cannot say more). He is still waiting to hear from him.
If I was you, I might hold off untill Pete calls Brice and answer his questions.

My car was dyno'd with a load of parts including the 269 cams and the P2. I'm going to pick up the dyno sheets from Works when I get a chance, and will then get them up here.

This is with:
100.910 Brain Flash 91 Octane
101.002 Brain Flash P2 Upgrade
125.201 Vent Dual Valve
130.100 Aperture Throttle Body
136.301 WORKS Power Cams
140.200 Exhale DP
140.400 Exhale IP
140.500 Exhale AB
165.102 Clutch Kit C2
165.103 Spin Flywheel
165.500 Clutch Line Stainless
230.300 Swaybar Set
260.500 Croxx Plate
280.101 Front Brakes Pads
280.102 Rear Brakes Pads
280.400 Brake Lines Stainless
So 55+ whp from the P2, Exhaust, Cams, and Throttle Body.
And fyi, one of the main reasons I went with works was that they offered a package that was comprehensive over Engine, Exhaust, Clutch, Suspension and Brakes.
Before I changed to all season (ContiExtremeContact) tires, I took a drive up in the foothills and it handled perfectly. Basically, I wanted with this first stage to have something like the UK FQ330 which has more power (obviously) and nearly perfect cornering. This is exactly what I got.
When I was driving the foothills I had as much power as I wanted, could corner like no other (the advans started slipping, no under/oversteer, perfect.).
The idle is audible (which is expected) but is only barely lumpy. It defintely isn't annoying, and that's after driving to Tahoe and back (the trip on the way there being almost stopped in traffic).
Will Works give you the absolute most power for the cost without regard for the longlivity of the car? No. Will they preserve the nature of the car, make it perform even more amazingly, and support there work with great customer service? Yes.

Yep, that's the Works Catalogue right there, Lord Stockdale. 
How do you like those Works brake pads? When I was looking at them and compared them to the Carbotech Bobcats, the Works pads seemed nearly twice as expensive, but I cannot figure out how exactly they are better.

I don't really have any basis for comparison with the pads, I never ran stock with the added mods, and I havn't thrashed my new pads yet (still being fairly nice to my car after the mods). The only noticable difference is some squeaking on weak braking (goes away when I brake harder).I'll give you a ride on the 24th and we'll make a judgment

jstockdale, I've been talking with pete at works with about the same set-up. What was total installation time for mods. Also could you PM me the cost you paid for your set-up including labor.
I've tried to get this info from them and I never get a straight answer from Works.... Thanks

Stockdale,,,,,,,,,,,
How loud is your exhaust? Do you have the stock cat on it?
the works IP dosnt have any resinators. Also how did the DP fit, is it close to theoil pan, and how much clerance/clerence did it have with the support ties?
Thanks
