Thanks, MTI (Jayson)! Passed TX emmissions/safety inspection yesterday. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
I still think I'm going to swap this cam out at some point, though. I'll see how it does with an LS6 intake first. I'm still tempted to get the cam doctored since it didn't come with a cam card and see how it would respond to the SLP 1.85:1 rockers.
I've been following the discussions on standard and reverse split cams. I actually lost peak torque with this cam after installing the true duals, so I've experienced what some have mentioned regarding losing HP/TQ with unrestricted exhaust and long exhaust duration. It was 353 rwtq before the dual exhaust. Now it's 346 rwtq (even before installing the cats).

Re: Thanks, MTI (Jayson)! Dang Vince, make up your mind. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />
You're almost as indecisive as me! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Thanks, MTI (Jayson)! Oh yeah, I passed too and I did not even have to take it to the inspection facility. I got mine through a buddy of mine @ no charge!!! Mines running so I will be out after a good detail and the exaust is on!!!!

Like I said, we'll see. Not sure what I'm going to do yet. I still think that with the 1.85:1 rockers and ported heads, this cam would make pretty decent power without being too hard on the valvetrain. I may want to get the cam doctored so I can see exacly how the duration will be effected. The extra duration would come in handy once I install a Lunati 382 rotating assembly and ATI Procharger in the next 2-3 years. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
