Feels really strong. It was kinda hard to tell cause the roads were wet, and getting on it at all pretty much broke the tires loose, even from a 20 or 30 mph roll. Night and day difference before and after!

I would say the tsp duals would be louder.

The clip sounds awesome.

After you get that tuned, will you lose most of that lope in the cam?
Sounds really nice!

No. The hot-idle is set at about 800 RPM right now. With a tune I MIGHT even be able to lower it a tad. Lower idle = more lope.

Had a local guy from the board come by earlier to check out the cam and exhaust, and we went for a little ride. It was the first time I'd really gotten on it since the install, and all I can say is "". I launched her real easy from a stop, and then dropped the hammer. As soon as it hit 2k RPM the tires ripped loose and the back end kicked out. The tires didn't start grabbing again until mid-way through 3rd gear. It was as close to a religious experience as I've ever had.

To anyone who has this cam on the way, or is thinking about getting one, you will NOT be disappointed!

It's not necessary to replace the oil pump and timing chain, but it's not a bad idea to upgrade while you are in there. I didn't, since I have low miles and the oil pump in the 01 and up f-bodies was better than in the 98-00. If I wasn't working within a budget I probably would have swapped them out, though. You definitely need to beef up the valvetrain. You could run a quality single spring with no problems, since the lift is under .600. I decided to go with the PRC dual spring kit from TSP, which came with the springs, seats, valve stem seals, titanium retainers, and hardened pushrods.
