Same story 672HP and 675RWTQ and she has no issues, unless she hits the gas a little to hard and scares the bejeebus out of herself. It is completely docile for day to day driving though.

Let just say, someone already have bolts on, does a GT9 cam worth it powerwise?
How does this cam sound, is it too aggressive?

GT9 is not aggressive at all. Next to the cam in a Hennessy, it's half the lope. GT9 is Easy to launch.

Is it worth it? Not sure... Off the line there was not much difference (in my car) after adding the cam, so if you are not tracking or racing, probably not.

Power is addicting. I went from bolt ons to adding a cam. Now even that seems normal so you want "MORE POWER"!

From that standpoint I'd say just be happy with what you got. After a while, you will adjust to the cam and valve train mod.

We will never be satisfied because HP and torq are addicting, so stay away
