I'm thinking it will be good for a tenth or two...did you already purchase the QTP? If so, keep your eye on it, most of the guys here who have used the QTP's have had problems with the screws for the blade loosening up and the shaft for the blade breaking. A few guys have had good luck though. I personally bought a DMH after hearing about the problems that guys have had with their QTP's.

yeah that big cam is gonna sound bad*** with an open cut out. every body says they run at least a tenth faster depending on how restrictive their exhaust system was to begin with. I will be installing a cutout soon too. also, being boosted and with the 4.56's are u spinning real bad off the line?

QTP user here, no problems after a two or three years of repeated use. Consistently I run 2/10ths faster with it open. Your 60' sucks worse than my 4.8 ext cab with 3.42s and open diff.With your mph you should already be running 13s.

That's good to hear, I like to see local companies do good (QTP is just a few miles from me). Unfortunately I've seen too many pics around here of their cutouts in pieces, hopefully they've worked out the bugs

Me too, I have seen and heard about a bunch of them falling apart. I think I just got lucky with mine.
