What I meant by that is that 4:10's in a dd would seem to be overkill as far as driveability im sure it stomps azz but as far as driving around town and on the highway im sure your probably over 3k rpm at 70 mph which is a bit loud with any exhaust on a cammed ls1, but if it was just a weekend car thats a whole differant ball park
lol

Okay, my cam install is done! It was actually done a week ago, but I ended up having a cracked oil pan & a pinched o-ring to deal with, so it wasn't actually back in service until today. It's going in to XP Racing for a dyno tune this coming Monday, so I'll be sure to update this thread with my final #'s. I'm kinda intersted to see the difference between cutout open & closed too, so I'll be sure to report back on that too.
Here's a quick video I took this morning at the gas station with the cutout closed...

Good stuff bro, try to post some more sound clips if you can, Damian is talking me into getting this cam and Im on the fence cause I just did a cam swap over a thousand miles ago. Ive read it drives great and puts out some great power, good choice.

Slight problem with my dyno tune last week because my pushrods were too long (too much preload, not building compression). Got the new shorter pushrods installed tonight & took my first drive. Everything sounds great & my next dyno appt. is next Thursday morning, so I will be sure to update this thread Thursday night. Sorry for the suspense, it's killing me too. Wish I could take it back tomorrow!

I ended up getting back in to the dyno today. Final #'s were 371/351, so not quite as much as I expected, but still not bad. Hope to get it to the track sometime & see what it will really do. I'll post an Excel comparison graph tomorrow when I have more time.
