tune it yourself?If I remember correctly increasing the duration on the ext. sidewas a little harder to tune but increased the top end?

I have a 224/228, 112lsa, 108 icl, 569/.561 lift. Cam sounds like a race cam until motor warms up and idle slows to 950. Then it shakes very little.
Sometimes the car has a Hot start surge problem. But if I rev the motor a little at start up it will not surge. I plan on taking it back to my tuner to fix the problem. Other than that I like the cam. :

Never dyno'd it, but track times are in the sig.
I love this cam, it's complete stealth can't even hear it, perfect idle. I am gonna wake my car up with some Stage II heads vs going to a bigger cam. BTW, gears will not hurt you at all, I'd say the nice gear for the automatics seem to be 3.73's with converters and the cars I know have cams and MPH very well. You will notice a difference once you ditch the 2.73's
And yes Corsa catback with no cats=obnoxious but my car sounds awesome to me
