Thanks for the heads up. Did they say why that was. Just curious. There isn't a road course anywhere close to me so i'll prob never get the chance to try it out on one. I live in SC and everyone around here that does any kind of racing does it in a straight line, so that's the only kind of tracks close to me.

NO. matter of fact, I would think the reason was not road course as the RPM's are high and having the alternator turn slower would be good and not turning the water pump so much would be good, but oil pump maybe better.

They knew I did a fair amount of highway driving at < 3K RPM and maybe it was for that.

Your car sounds wicked. Congratulations.

How does the cam drive on the street? Are you able to share specs?

Thanks Man. The video really doesn't do it any justice. It sounds so much better in person. It drives pretty good for a cam this size. Starting off you have to get the RPM's up there to keep it from dying but its not as bad as I thought it would be. I do have to keep the RPMs above 1500 or the car does surge just a bit but def still doable. They have the specs for the cam on their website so I don't think they would mind me sharing.

Lol. My buddy was riding next to me this weekend on the interstate and I dropped it from 4th to 3rd and just let out the throttle and he said he about ran off the road. He said it sounded like someone was shooting at him. hahaha. It def sounds crazy under decal.

Here's the vid dkz was talking about. I figured I'd go ahead and post it. It's not the best quality but I guess that's ok. lol.

OMG. Both vids sound wicked. Did you delete the cats and mufflers? Sounds like open exhaust. It would be hard to keep that beast under the 100db level.

The cats are gone but it does have mufflers if you want to call them that. The exhaust parts are... American Racing headers 2in primarys into 3in collectors and AR 3in off road X-pipe ran out the back thru a Borla ATAK axle back system. The ATAK system has mufflers but from what I've read they are pretty much straight thru. So in other words "IT"S LOUD" lol. The video doesn't even come close to how loud it is in person. hahaha. My neighbors are going to love me on the mornings I drive it to work. ill try and save that for just Fridays.
