its even better when you have a "soccer mom" SUV (TBSS) that lopes so, so nicely when the cutout is open. i get so many odd looks, and just as many people asking me to roll the window down. whats even funnier is when i close and open the cutout, and they are in awe. most people are amazed at what just happened! its nice that the general population doesnt know what an electric cutout is. i went to a 10 minute oil change (with my own oil and filter of course...iam lazy) and i had not one, but two techs at the shop say, "is there something wrong with your truck" and the other "there is definatly something wrong, you should take that back to the dealership." its great.

Yeah that's a friend of mine's. He was very surprised that I got that time with very little mods. That exhaust in that run was just the loudmouth with cats and stock manifolds.

I have a E cutout on my car with the MS4 and it turns some heads with the cutout closed, but you should see there jaws drop when I open it up right there in front of them I have half the people in my town wanting a E cutout. And I always get the what size motor does that thing have in questions. But nothing better then the people that tell me it fast because it's a Ram Air model. Heads and cam doensn't matter that Ram hood is where the real power comes from. Some refuse to believe when I tell it helps little to none. I guess there the expert.

You're not gonna want to get the cam with an LSA of 110 with an auto. 112 is as low as I've seen. If the car was a manual, that's a different story.

Lol, huh? I have mine on a 111lsa just fine. My friend has his on a 110lsa, mine's a Ms4, his is a T Rex. Neither of us have issues, and they're both 4L60e's.

His wasn't bad I don't think... Mine was not bad at all once I actually figured out what the hell I was doing. lol I bought HP Tuners when I got this cam, LT's, and custom exhaust, so I had to do some learning. But now the idle is perfect, reverse, drive, all that good stuff. Drivability is great, everything is just great!

Okay, now for people that know what they are talking about. I ran a t-rex 242x248 on a 110lsa with a yank ss4000 stall, and drivability was not bad at all. The stall was more annoying then the cam. Ignorance is bliss!!!
