buy yourself HP Tuners and learn how to tune. It will be some of the best money you will spend if you're going to have a cammed car. I love it myself and you can tune all the little things they way you want the car to drive.

PAC 1518, good for .650 lift. Good to go!

That's exactly what I don't want! I'd rather have it sound stock. Also, with very little overlap on the GT11 it has a fighting chance at passing emissions.

Lpe GT11 cam is very good when comes o stock like driveability, you dont need a tune either but i highly recommend, that cam will prolly give you 25-30 HP thats it but driveability will be second to none, since you live in ottawa, start early in morning and get the street tune only (no dyno) from Arun at CCW.

He tuned my H/C little aggressive and i drive my car on 401 morning rush hour traffic, let me tell ya when i installed H/C package i could not even drive a block without stalling (i also do have FAST 90 intake as well).

Once arun tuned it, i drive mine every day and you know how brutal 401 is on morning. My cam specs are 232/234 .600 lift on a 112 LSA, very choppy idle.

I know all about the 401, I used to live just north of Oshawa. I already called Arun, just waiting for a call back. Thanks man!

Yeah, I know the GT11 isn't going to blow anyone's mind, but I had to do the cam anyway and I just couldn't bring myself to pay for a new LS6 cam. Plus, if I decide to put out for a good set of small port heads (like AFR 205s) the car should become a pretty nice daily driver. Not that it wasn't already!

A friend of mine has the exact same cam as I do except he has the 114 LSA. It sounds completely stock.

Hope that helps.
