My specs are
Rev Rate - around 525 rpms - 550 rpms
Speed 20.5-21.5mph
Bowled yesterday on Cheetah and had an awful day
couldnt not find a line that would hold well for me at all no matter what I used
even went with a different release that produces around 375-400rpms and around 19.5 mph and still couldnt get anything to work for me

this was also at a house that I bowl at normally so it was not the surface of the lanes that was giving me a problem
only my second time bowling on chameleon and the first time I struggled a bit but not this bad

just looking for equipment ideas or what lines etc. were working for you

I've bowled on it a few times. Last Friday actually as well. I'm around 325-350 rpm with a decent amount of tilt so I guarantee we don't throw it similar. I've found that smooth equipment fared better for me. Was using my C-system 2.5 with a 2.75" layout with decent success playing straight up 7-8. Also found a slight swing from 15-10 or so worked well too.

I had an alright look with my LevRG, but I had to be much deeper to keep it in play. Long as you don't leak it too far right, I've found the Chameleon to be very playable, with multiple angles of attack on the table. But, again lane conditions, humidity, etc all play an effect on how they will play.

why do ppl use specific to exact #s when talking about revs?? 374 being the example here.. Its never gonna be that consistent so im sure rounding up will be plenty good .. 375-400 would be just fine..
