this is my first time having anything BTR. I have had lots of others, so we will see.

I have heard good things about them.

All of our cams are tailored to each customer's setup and goals. our cam install is around $4700.

I did finally find a fourm member on youtube, and then linked him back to here, with the BTR Stage2 in his LT4 car. SO hopefully he can answer some questions on it.

From the 2 convos I had with BTR (1st made me want to slap the guy on the phone) second with a guy named Nick. It sounds like this cam is very drivable, and still makes good power. and form the ONE video I can find it hit s lick pretty good too.
what video is it, I'm in the position now

227/242 .637/.626 @ 115+6

I cant find a single video of the damn thing let alone dynos or anything else. Just that BTR says it picked up 71hp.
hey, sorry but what is overlap?

Drives SUPER easy like no bucking at all which is surprising, could have went bigger....ha But makes for a nice driver for sure. can even hold 7th at 55mph with out bucking so that's impressive.

Made a quick walk around at lunch since it was clean, and warmed up.

bucking is when it surges if you put a load on it.

Looking into almost same upgrades (TSP 1 7/8" headers + x-pipe) what would you share from learnings with your build?? Also considering adding ported or larger throttle body and MSD intake manifold... do you think that'd be worth the extra ~$1400 or what hp gains you imagine it'd see over your 505hp? I mainly drive my car as daily in summers and hit a couple HPDE track days each season.
