Default Cam In!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, first of all I want to thank this board for this install. I bought the parts here and got the info help with the install. The cam is 216/221 558" both sides. It went in an 05 rcsb with no cats and big exhaust and sounds super super nasty. No tune and a stock converter and contrary to responses I had been gettin it does fantastic. I cant believe it, it sounds like a huge cam. Newayz, it has not even been hammered yet due to break in on the valve springs and I will report more tomorrow.

Sounds like a nice grind, what's this in, a 5.3? Who ground the cam? What's the LSA?

I said this before somewhere, but a converter isn't required for a cam install. It will make the cam more desorable, but just cause of a bigger cam doesn't mean you have to step up to a bigger converter

How do you know it does fantastic (contrary to other responses) if you have not hammered it yet?
