Unfortunately no I dont... its tricky to find an AWD dyno. I'd like to know, but I wouldnt have high hopes either with all the drag from the AWD and I'm not about to pull my front driveshaft.
If I end up getting heads I may take the time to get it done.
Mine is definitely not that quiet. I think the bigger headers definitely exaggerate the noise though.

With the old Comp cam I could hear the clicks and ticks over the exhaust (3" duals dumped) if I was standing in front of the doors on either side of the car. With the hood open all you heard was "click click tick click tick"...literally had to walk around the car to hear the exhaust.
Now its no more noisy than my bone stock 5.3 Silverado. Just typical LS noises.

I would go with the 226/230 EPS cam on a 113lsa, that's what I have in my daily driver, used to have the TR224. There was maybe a 10rwhp difference, it's still DD friendly, and less of a possibility that you will want to go bigger in the future.

I talked to Geof at EPS and he is on the ball WOW I am now leaning to that eps cam but the rise is higher than the TS 224 I think its .610 over .561 so that is holding me back a little on a descision

I went with the PAC 1519's. updated version of the 18's and they are a hair firmer. Since the EPS lobes are quiet aggressive a firmer beehive would not be a bad thing.
Now i eps 222/226, what's this lxl lobe talk? what's standard??
