Default what was your first expression driving your cammed car after the swap?

hey guys, im seriously considering getting A cam soon. ive never been in a cammed ls6..and i know there are so many different sizes and variables that effect this..but i thought it would be fun to hear how everyone felt the first time they drove there car after the swap..how worth it is it to spend the money..how noticable and different is the power and overall "pull" of the car compared to the stock cam! thanks

Driving my 99 after bone stock A4 to 224 cammed LS6 M6 and obliterating my tires was fun to say the least. Hell, the day I sold it I had people coming over tasking to "ride in it one more time".

First expression was like a 5yr old with a sugar rush and a boner!! The sound is just pure awesome and it pulls like a freight train everywhere in every gear. Can't wait to get heads and add to the power and excitement!!

Since you have a crate LS6, you should spend some time reading this thread.

Yeah check this out. My LS6 made 422/402 but that was a 224r cam, EPS cams are nice and quiet on the valvetrain too from what I've seen.

I first Drove my friends MS4 Cammed SS...The only thing running thru my head was that i just HAD to get a cam...I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
Now that im cammed, it just gets annoying hearing it Lope at a stop light. its my DD, so the Loudness does get old. but all in all i still love it.
