Sorry guys, no dyno numbers yet. I havent set the tune to kill mode yet since I've been busy with work and family. My AFR is set 11.8 and timing is at 25 degrees, which still leaves about 25hp on the table. Once I set my AFR to 12.8 at timing to 28 degrees, then I'll hit the dyno. 
Hopefully in two weeks. I still need to port my TB and fabricate a 4" CAI.
So far, im very happy with the MS3 cam. It starts right up in 40 degree weather without an hesitation. People complain about hard starts, and bad street manners with big cams, but its the tune that makes all the difference in drivability.

Are you thinking of getting rid of your cutout? I ask because I think I am going to pull the trigger on some maybe in a few months and I just wanted to know if you are having problems with it, or don't like it, etc.?
STAGEUP,
Nice car, love the sound, and I bet the power is even more intoxicating!

But Id like to lower my V, and with the cutout Ill have clearance issues If I do lower. I either will have to buy a catback or find a diffrent low profile cutout...
But the cutout is like a fun button hehe

The sound is amazing, no issues and the 4hp gain across the board is nice too.

Both cars sound good!!
So... Stageup's car has kooks, no cats and a mag catback with the smaller magnaflow 14416 mufflers fabbed in and the other black car posted has kooks, no cats and a B&B catback with a cutout also?
I like the B&B but they sound pretty similar for the mag being a good bit cheaper and still stainless.
Im planning to run the HPE S-cam in my car but that MS3 cam has almost the exact same specs so maybe ill consider that one instead. I def gotta get LTs and chop my cats so i can run a cutout. Cant decide on keeping my mag catback and fabbing some louder muffs in or selling it for another catback if i find one used that i like. Back and forth... back and forth... lol

Thats true. Doesnt make much sense i guess to cut the catback up to make it louder just to put cutouts in later as well. Prob smarter to keep it more mellow like you said since im going the cutout route.
