Default torque an B1

Obviously the B1 is going to make a big difference in my 1/4 mile times. The question is, at what rpms will I START to gain power over my stock setup? What i'm looking for is if there is any low-end torque lost. Oh, BTW, this cam will lope right?

Here is a sound clip at idle (MAC headers w/ ORP and wide-open Borla):

I'm suprised, I thought that below 2.5 grand you might lose some low-end. In fact, the graph looks pretty darned good.

The car sounds really cool! But actually didn't lope as much as I thought, actually I think I want a little more lope than that! <img src="images/icons/smile.gif" border="0"> Thanks.

No, not really.

In a closed up exhaust... Some folks cant even tell you have a cam.

Would that be the case for the T1? It's lift/duration #'s are the same, but would the lower LSA give it more lope than what that sound clip of that B1 was?

In theory, the T1 should lope harder at idle. However, I have heard a T1 car and couldn't tell the difference between my old B1 and the T1 car. Exhaust setup has alot to do with how hard the car will sound. As John said, when you close of the Borla, it is tough to hear the cam lope and will fool alot of people.

In my set up the T1 has a very noticeable lope, and of coarse the "hunting" and surging idle.
I have SLP's w/ cats.
