Nice to hear you got it installed. I will be going with a very similar cam in my '99 some day, after I get my '97 squared away. Should have a good midrange, and it should take spray well.

i didnt think the #s were too bad for a set of stock 243 heads and a baby cam through a vigilante stall which are known to suck over 40hp according to mike@CMS. car also still has stock catback just a flowmaster welded in place of the factory muffler. VERY VERY restrictive. I think im gonna go with a custom CMS exhaust once i get some more funds

3.5 inch exhaust with a single in and single out magnaflow should wake it up quiet a bit.

dyno #s dont mean **** to me i know my car can back up those low dyno #s at the track. 12.2 with only 340hp isnt too bad especially considering im still on the stock torque arm and have my drag radials on heavy *** chrome 17" firehawk wheels and heavy *** chrome Y2Ks up front. no weight reduction either. for my budget sleeper heads and cam setup i put together i dont think 44hp/45tq increase to the wheels is to shabby!

I have a flowmaster also and dynoed low with a cam. After that I got a cutout, it was worth .25 and 3 mph at the track for me.
