Yeah I知 not looking for any issues either, something middle of the road that will still pull up top. I don稚 want something that falls on its face at 6500rpm.

Once you have done the too big of cam, you learn haha give a few HP up top for drivable and not as many issue. even stages 2 BTR sounds roudy and makes great power.

Quote from Snowblind :Yes sir, loved my Camaro and made it to the Fest in '18&'19. Got my first C8 in 2020 and sold the SS shortly thereafter.
I thought that was you. How quick have you been in the C8 and what mods are done?

Normally the sensor is right before the Fuel rail on Flex set ups.

You could put it up top but it would look really bad, the way the feed line connects to the rails makes it difficult to do a clean install. Its far easier to to do under the car. There is a 6" jumper hose that can be removed from two quick connects to insert a fuel loop with the sensor into. It only requires you to removed one of the underbody closeout panels. Everything is out of site.

I'm willing to make fuel loops and harnesses for people, but they would still need to go to Justin White for the calibration modification. I do not know of anyone else that is offering it besides him and DSX through their Dealers.
