TRex is in and running strong.
I can very slightly hear my valve train from the front of the car with the hood open and my head closer to the motor but remember; I run Pacesetter long tubes, off road y and a Loud Mouth. If you ask me, the car sounds just like it did before the install.
My tuner (Slowhawk from Dez Racing) still can not get over how smooth and mild mannered the cam is, it doesnt feel anything even close to a 242/248.

I have still yet to hear this cam w/ long tubes off road Y pipe through open Borla. I 've got my T-rex and "every" install gasket and other goodies on my living room floor. Paul @ Thunder said my Absolute Stage II 5.3's will be in possibly in the next 2 weeks. Hopefully the outcome will be good #'s.

yeah, I'm in a similar boat... I am going to be working so much for the next few weeks that I wont have time to do the install, so I'm gonna take it up to Waco and have it installed and dynotuned... working for three or four days, at me job, pays for that and any other inconvenience... gotta love the railroad... 
as soon as it gets together, I'll post some numbers here...

well, i saw you out there running, what kind of times did you run. I know the DA was pretty bad and of course the track conditions weren't that great, espeically for the 2 TNT rounds

well the weather was horrible and not sure what the da was. still felt pretty strong. now for the times i ran, you'll have to break out the calculator to figure out what i could have ran, because i ran into a smelly problem
can you say "fried cluch" so try not to laugh to hard.
1st run. dumped from 6000. cluch spun all the way through first. let off eased into second ran through the rest 2nd and thrid, never botherd with 4th.
run was
60"= 1.92
1/4 mile 13.01@80mph coasting.
after the clutch cooled down, it seemed to hold a little, so i gave it another shot leaving at 2500, it held up ok riding it out
60"=1.85
1/4 mile 12.17@116.7
shifted second kinda easy.
last run. figured id bump it up a little.
left at 3000, sliped a little, 1st to 2nd also sliped a lil.
60"=1.89
1/4 mile 11.92 @ 118.8
pulls really hard up top, and puts out great mph. so i cant wait to see what better da and air quallity+ some 1.49-1.55 60's will do.
needless to say, i was pissed that the damn clutch fried on the first pass. time for a spec stg.4 hopefully somtime this week.
im also still at a dissapointing 3530lbs. so if i could loose another 200lbs. and get some 1.50 60's it should go 11.0 easy assuming 11.72. with just weight reduction and easily .15 in the quarter for every .1 in the 60ft. plus i havent had time to figure out how do drive this cam yet with 2 halfass passes. and im gettin a actual real dyno tune sometime this week since i have basicly a mail order tune at the moment.

I wasn't trying to be a ***** but I know it takes a while to get it all dialed in. Hopefully it will all come together for you in a minimal amount of time. Keep us updated...

oh well, theres always next week
are you going to put heads on the car before the Thunder shootout rolls around this year? With the only few people that actually raced in the SS class last year, most of us are no longer SI, i would think they would just ditch that class all together.
