Default Question on a cheatr cam

I know the cheatr cam works with the stock manifolds, but will it lope with headers? If I had the cam with LT headers , cats, a tune, and a closed borla cat back, will this cam sound stock?

Do you want it to lope, does it need to pass the emissions sniffer test?

you can always drop the idle way down to lets say 650 or so. the lope wont change with the headers if anything it will magnify it and make it more pronounced since headers are louder than cast manifolds

To most it'll sound stock, the valvetrain will probably be louder than stock.
BTW, more info would help.

If you're going to run LT headers then I'd go with a narrower split.
"TR TRuTorq" Level 1 - 219/224 .609/.604 115 LSA(-8.5* overlap)
"Old Man Cam" - 214/220 .600/.523 115 LSA(-13* overlap)
"TR 220-114" - 220/220 .551/.551 114 LSA(-8* overlap)
EPS TT1, 214/220 .600/.564 115lsa(-13* overlap)
TSP 220R w/115lsa(-10* overlap)

For comparison, the "CheaTR"(214/230 117lsa) has -12* overlap, an the "CheaTR v.3"(219/230 117lsa) has-9.5* overlap.
