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.

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
