I would still get Ed's torque cam. It will get that heavy GTO off the line quicker, lope nicely on a 111 and make within 5hp of a 224r.

Thats my car with pacesetter longtubes, catless mids and the SLP LM1

I love this cam, and even though it doesn't look like it I can get the car to hook so new track times will be coming soon

You'll need a stall though in an auto.
What lobes are those? And what's his website to buy the cam?

+1 on Long Tube headers + tune first. 30hp, don't open up the motor, don't need a stall, and EVERY....I mean EVERY GTO needs headers.

/thread.

Of course, headers are the "gateway drug" to modding

I would also suggest a set of Headers (if money is tight get the Pacesetter LT's).
Now the cat back really isn't needed. The stock cat back is a dual 2 1/2" with only 2 small crimps in the passenger side exhaust pipe (right at the rear end for clearance).
If you want a better sound out of the exhaust look into an inexpensive 2 1/2" x 2 1/2" X-pipe to replace the resonator (magnaflow has one cost around $75 to $100) and a set of flow master Super 40's (Flow master 40's give off to much resonance inside the vehicle... been there done that). If you shop online you can get the x-pipe and both mufflers for around $350 or less (beats a $800 cat back).

Oh and my GTO is a M6 (in sig). The Voodoo 222/228 has a 113 lsa so you should not need to change out the stall.

If you need a shop to install the parts and tune it then give Dyno Speed Racing a call. They are located in Memphis just north of I240 off of Convington pike (Your in Jonesboro so thats about an hour 2 two drive for you). Thats where I had mine tuned. They use HPTuners and don't lock the tune (which is a plus if you have things done at a later date and want to have the car retuned by someone else).

Had to LOL at that. I'm an OLD MAN running Super 40s on a H/C car with headers and H-Pipe...there's not too much resonance for me

Shoddy I said get the SUPER 40's. I had the regular 40's 2 1/2 in 2 1/2 out same side (I can't remember the part number, they list for a Mustang Cobra in the Flowmaster catalog). And the internal resonance was bad. I couldn't hear the stock radio unless it was at full blast (which isn't much...).

I now have the Stainless Steel Works 3" in 3" out mufflers that came with the full dual 3" cat back. Less internal resonance while still having an impressive sound.

Of course most of us Old Farts (I'm 2 weeks from 66) can't hear much anyway so resonance is less of a problem. I still hate it, however. That's why I bought a Corsa catback for my '97 C5 in '97.
