After I finally got someone who could tune it right, it drives like stock. I get in, turn the key and go.

It's a good cam for stock heads and longtubes/ory/bullet muffler or true duals. It will not like the spray as much as other cams... but you already have your answer... go ahead and have fun with it.

Yup I will have a very good free flowing exhaust and stock heads, Im doubtful on nitrous right now since I want a 12 bolt before it sees any track action.......and I plan to drive this car alot around town and to cruises, thats why I didnt choose any of the bigger cams.

the nitrous isnt going to make any difference... nitrous starts to play a factor when you shooting around in the 200+... i say hit it with a 150 wet shot and call it a day with it. (unless later you build the car for more spray)

nitrous plays a factor in cam decisions with as little as a 100 hit.

I may get heads down the road but 400rwhp isn't anything to sneeze at. With a baby due soon, I have no plans to add more parts to it anytime soon though.

How free flowing does you exhaust need to be? Are duals a must have or will a catback work? I'm seriously considering this cam or something similar.

I have stock heads, LS6 Intake, SLP Lid, P&P TB, EGR & AIR removed, SLP LM, no cats, Hooker LT's, stock gears, and a nice new clutch. Sound good?

Well I think I have plenty of flow on the backend, I'm just limited by my stock heads and LS6 Intake. This looks like a good solution.
