it idles just like stock so to the untraind ear you won't be able to tell it's in there. with stock manifolds i picked up 30 rwhp and another 15 rwhp after adding longtubes. i recommend using 918's with this cam.

That cam is a sleeper cam all the way, it idles the same as stock, the only giveaway would be the bit of extra valetrain noise from the high lift.

I had absolutely no valvetrain noise at all. Mine was as stock sounding as stock

Nobody believed I put a cam in the car so I just stopped saying it. I used the LS6 springs the kit came with and had no problems at all.

With LS6 spring it wont have valetrain noise, with some comps or something like that i would imagine it would be a bit noiser.

GT2-3 works better with stock manifolds (it is designed for that).
Stealth II requires good freeflow system
