Default Stealth cam reports please

Hey all,

I have done the searches and seen some of the dyno results. What I would like to know is those of you who have installed any of the Stealth cams be it TR, LPE GT2-3, or MTI I or II are you happy with your decisions? is it worth the hassle for 20 or 30 HP? knowing what you know now would you do it again, or go bigger?

I am installing a procharger P1SC-1, I do want the stealthiness of a smooth Idle but am looking for best performance gains from 1600 RPM to 6000 RPM it appears that all of the so called Stealth cams fit my needs, just not sure I want to go through the hassle for 20HP when all I really need is a different Pulley.

Suggestions....comments?

I like my 'stealth' cam and felt it was well worth it for my needs. It's a Futral
221/221 114, and gave me 40 rwhp through stock manifolds and exhaust. I don't
know if it's suitable for the blower, but I'm sure Allan can give you the answers
you need.

I had not even considered that one, thanks, your results are exactly what I am looking for. very impressive numbers given the stock exhaust.
how is the idle?
did you have to bump up the Idle RPM to "hide" the tell tale cam characteristics?

thanks

Idle has been set at 825, and I have an A4. Not a noticeable lope,
just slight rocking at stoplights. A little valvespring noise, if you
listen for it.
