let her get used to the cam, getting it tuned immiediatly would be best but it will try to adapt on its own somewhat. congrats on this install, you inspired me to document mine heads/cam install when i get them.

Congrats man, it feels really good doesn't it! Mine put down 401rwhp, so you should be close to that since its the same cam. Don't know how much of a difference yours being auto will make.
At least you don't have to worry about a clutch. My pressure plate broke 5 days after the cam install.

my car with the tci 3000 stall in it put 340 to the ground, that stall with my current mods in my sig except the yank. if the manual put down 401 your probably gonna be around 380-390 range. but it will be a strong 380-390, i routinely beat the **** outta mustangs on the bottle putting over 400rwhp and 450rwt. they cant explain it and neither can i but i do it lol. my only explanation is you cant outshift an automatic.
