Best tune ever? Videos added
Buddy got a tune for his Mustang, "Ghost Cam" from Lund Racing. Must say it really does make the car sound amazing, at idle of course. Anyone done this on a C7? Possible, VCT/VVT? Saw a video of someone manually doing so with HP tuner on a C5, but his results did not really compare to the downloaded Lund tune. Was told - Intake Cams are retarded 20 degrees, Exhaust stays open at zero degrees. Creates overlap and duration for that large Cam sound.

That I have heard tuners do that makes me think there is definitely a demand to sound the part.

You gents are entertaining. Base Stingray has more than enough power for me to enjoy thoroughly! Even with Borla exhaust it still does not sound as good as the 72 C3 w/440 I had previously. The tune interest me as no physical modifications are required to get that muscle sound.
Thanks for the note about gapping being bad on CATS. That is the type info I am after. Seems like this is a common mod/tune for the Mustang and Camaro owners.

I mean I get it. people want the sounds I bet that 25% of the reason some do cam swaps. But purposely tuning the vehicle to mis/overlap at idle with none of the pros of a cam is literally like cutting your foot off to save you shoe.
That being said, If I was a tuner, I would probably offer that option as there is a bunch of people who don't give a crap and just want it to sound cool at cars and coffee.
I personally daily drive cammed LS /LT stuff for years Love the chop but its real chop for me.

I had a 383 in a C4. 420 RWHP and my so glad to make the power I make in the C7 without the noise and roughness. I have to park further away to minimize people coming to talk to me about it when I pull up.

You should try a shiny C7 that chops haha. It always gets people talking when new body/ tech has that old school lope. I also personally like the shake at redlights.

I instantly dislike anyone that wants or has a ghost cam. It tells me so much about you as a person and how you approach your whole life. 
Even though I know how to do it, I will never make a ghost cam tune or help anyone with a ghost cam tune. It's the worst fake mode ever. Worse than stick on hood scoops. Worse than fake caliper covers. worse than 3 foot wings on a ratchet Honda Civic.
