Does it feel weak at all down low? Maybe a bad word, but you know what I mean. I'm trying to research for a cam that'll pull strong down low as well. Also, it your car a street car or a drag racer?

were the valves stock or after market? any milling on the heads? what head gasket did you use? and did you check p2v, just wondering on an idea of how close it would be.
Thanks, Matt

I don't think so. I'm going today to get it tuned, but I doubt it will get on the dyno unless I can work a deal for like one pull for $20. They charge $100 an hour for dyno time and the last time I was on there for 15 minutes and got charged $100, so I don't want that to happen again, especially if I'm doing heads in the future.

Geoff had just finished up with the vette and that thing idled great; extremely smooth for that huge cam. On the other hand, the f-body would barley idle becuase it was untuned. Cold start was a pita, but got better once the car warmed up. Then it sounded bad ***. The idle quality btwn the f-body and vette was definately noticable. You definatley wouldn't think it was the same cam.
