Oh-saum, sounds great with those Ti pipes, and great power with stock 241 heads. Did u went with Ti retainers as well or just 1218 pac springs? what rpm is at idle warmed/cold.

That cam is not much populer in C5 but on LS1tech its pretty populer there.
Great choice on this cam, not too little and not too much, just about right size.

Sounds sweet. I would have upgraded the springs. PAC beehive valve springs LS1 .600" lift is a little to close for me. But hey, its your car and sounds sick!

Awesome sound and good numbers. Where does your power kick in? i would imagine the power curve is very street user friendly.
