All depends on the tune. Who's doing that?

I have a similar cam with a mail order tune and it runs fine, but if your getting it tuned live then it should drive fine, maybe a little push through on the brakes but not so bad that you would regret...

Cam that size will be plenty drivable with a good tune.

With a proper tune drivability should be nice, and with the 3200 converter I dont see why you would have any issues with the car trying to push through the brakes.

The car is still trying to pull when the brakes are applied...like Aaron said though, the converter should solve that
