Ok Money spent.
Car should be over 500rwhp when done (Somewhere in the 500-520rwhp/460-475 TQ with these mods)

every part adds up, and this cam swap is not cheap! I am used to LS stuff. So sometimes you save 100-200 hear and there to make it relatively justifiable. I have a budget in mind here. if I did not I would be doing a cam swap on a ZO6 ha!

We have our own we do, I just don't make heavy ad threads on here talking about them as much as we are so busy usually. If you want something you can just grab and click into a cart the btr will most likely be fine for you.

While I love YT. I hate when people are lazy and don't put info down. and then this being so rare/new its even harder to find anything
All my videos are tagged, and with discriptions, and info.
For example when I post a video it will say the what cam, what all mods, and what exhaust so there is not question. if you just want to hear the kooks and Npp it will pop up, if your looking for that cam it will pop up and tell you what your seeing and hearing.
Example:
2014 C7 LT1, BTR Stage 2 NA / Blower cam... Kooks Long tube headers, Kooks Off road X pipe, Factory NPP.

Been there and Done that. Not a big deal to me.
Mostly of what I have seen is a cam thats "custom" grind is a few degree here or there off from a shelf cam someone already makes. or maybe they play with the lobe separation. a degree lift. but basicly its going to be close to something someone makes...
I am fine with a shelf cam thats proven.
That being said, have you been at MTI for a while? I drove through the night in a black LS1 trans am back in 2001-2002 ish from alabama to have you guys tune my car vs a mail order that sucked... haha man that was a long time ago.

Around what kind of size is that
dont have to be exact but curious if a split like Jason used to like, and how big it is. also the separation haha sounds great.
I had Jason X1 back in 2002 in my trans am back then... those where when LS stuff was brand new! haha Drilling throttle body blades to get them to idel and stuff... haha came a long way with tuning since then
