How do you like them numbers!
After having a helluva time getting my cam to behave driveability-wise and being told by some pretty reputable local tuners it could not pass smog, I was ready to pull it out. Good thing I didn't because after working with Patrick (PatG) remotely, he not only worked with me to get passed the driveability issues, but he got it to pass the sniffer with flying colors!! Not bad for hopefully around 460 at the wheels.
This is at a shop who forced me to take off the catch can and put PCV back to stock, forced me to pull my 8mm red ignition wires and put back the ugly stock set as well as, pull my fuel rail pressure gauge. In other words he was going by the book on everything. Oh, and regular premium gas no E38.

Ignition wires? Really? That's crazy. He would have gotten an earful of four letter words and been told to stick a few thing in a few places as I layed a patch of rubber out of that place.

I told my buddy who owns a test only station about your ignition wires and fp gauge comments and he laughed so hard he couldn't talk for 5 minutes and asked what placed fed you that line of BS. He called over 2 of his techs and they laughed for a while as well. He joked and asked me if they checked the air in your tires to see if it was the stock air from the factory *** well...
I hope you didn't take your car back to that same place for the retest and a douche bag tech doing the visual.
Be sure and post the name of this place and location so no one else goes there and gets pulled into their lines of BS.

Hey Guys,
The cam is 226/235 .598”/.610” 114LSA +2 advance and yes, on an LS3. I got it with the possibility of going back to FI in the future and am very happy with it's NA performance. Satisfied enough I'm in no hurry to do anything but just enjoy it.

way to go sounds like the guy got your car to pass with flying colors and to drive nice sounds like I need to get ahold of him to get my car to pass smog. The way it looks to me he knows how to tune a motor I might need you to send me his info so I can get my car done better

Another hurdle that held things back was getting the computer to show "Ready" on all the sensors. I wasted two tank fulls before finding the right tuning parameters to get it past being "Incomplete".
