Electric cutouts are barnone one of the best/coolest mods you can do. I think it has been my favorite mod so far, There is nothing like having a nice quiet exhaust and then rolling up to some ricer and opening the cutouts

That has to be the best feeling in the world. Not to mention its really an oohh ahhh mod + you get hp and you can keep the stock catback and have it quiet for roadtrips. Can't beat that.

i had another offer for someone selling a cam with the specs of 224/228 .567/.571 113lsa.... this is somewhat a smaller cam i assume... (i am trying to learn about this)....

my other quesion is, how much differenet would the "rumpty" idle be between the cam in my first post and the cam in this one....

would this cam be easier to tune?

I think you'd have the idle you are looking for, and more power if you go with the cam that was spec'd out for you...
