Yes i agree, but the RT66 mufflers tone it down some. Here you go, enjoy.

Turbo1k, Thanks for the offer to let me drive your car. I live in NM but only 100 miles from Lubbock and Texas Speed and Perf. With TSP being this close , I will be using their parts and have them do the tune. Your idle sounds good. What lsa is your cam on?

Its on a 113 lsa. I just took a 50 miles cruise down the highway to do some errands and she felt fine at 1500rpm@70 mph in 6th. I also averaged 33.4 mpg witch is the same as i did when the car was stock. More power and no MPG loss .

Steve, Thanks for the info and congrats on the new power. Sounds like the car is very driveable and the 70 mph was what I was really curious about. Thanks again for the input.

I was out cruising around trying to find out where it wasn't to fun to drive and it seem anything under 1500 when not giving it gas seems to hesitate some. I keep it between 1800 and 6800 and it seems the same as stock. If you lug it around everywhere i would recommend a smaller cam but if you drive like she wants to be driven the MS3 is fine. Don't forget most of the drivability came from a very good tune, it sucked before that.
