what cam do you want and what's your goal for the car... do a search for "cheatr" cam they seem to make good power with almost no lope or driveability probs. other than that...a quiet cat back and leaving converters on the car will help keep it quiet, maybe a race bullet or something in the I-pipe as a resonator

It sounds like you want the CheaTR.

By the way, PLEASE turn the caps lock off. It's harder to read and on the internet caps mean you are yelling.

No kidding. But if he wants it quiet, that's the only way to go. He can still get a cut out and cap it up when he's not at the track.

And you quoted me but your post is above mine...strange.

#'s in sig, stock cat back and LT's, if you have a good ear you can discern it from a stock LS1 especially with the lope, but other than that its certainly not a cop caller.

If I had an fbody I would run LT's and an ORYP with the stock cat back and an electric cut out.

I am in CA too. If I can fit a set of electric cutouts with my strut brace thats what I may do in the future, although LT's and the stock Ti sounds pretty good to be honest.

For a pretty quiet yet cammed car that doesn't restrict power try something like an LS6 or CheaTR cam, longtubes, high flow cats and one of three cat-backs: SLP dual/dual, Hooker or Magnaflow.


It does make for an interesting read when it starts putting things up out of order.

Yea i guess you are right. This guy in the sacramento area has a cammed up LS1 with electric cut-outs. At first it just sounds like a regular LS1... then he hits the cut-out and it starts lopin like a BAT OUT OF HELL!!!!
