So that was cam install only? Makes me want to order a cam today. What were the deciding factors in cam selection?

That sounds f***ing nuts. I love it.

I love the sound of big cams, but hate the driveability.

I definitely need to hear how you like this thing. Its basically a larger duration version of my cam.

Seems like alot of vids that show up here to listen to ,the guys are afraid to rev them up to get the full effect, If i was to ever make a vid i would rev the **** out of it a couple times.Personally I believe anyone driving around with a SES light on or a non proper functioning sysytem doesnt have the job done,kind of like driving around with the hood off after a engine install,its not done yet.This one does sound good,could use another 150RPM.Once tuned,hopefully the driveability will be good.

I agree, it's nice to hear the idle, but hey - what about some RPM's? Is everyone afraid to rev the motor?

The idle is what it's all about.

I've seen a lot of video on the site where people rev their motors, and it just sounds like ***. Small rev's I like, but high rpm rips I usually don't.

This is the closest I'll get to revvin' mine out on video. (Half throttle roll on the other morning. Use it for the audio, not the video. )

Its not about the high revs, mid revs or anything like that. Its about being able to idle smooth and lopey, then tap the gas and twist the truck. All in the throttle responce.

I hate it when someone with a cam or a rev clip gives it gas to get the revs up to like 1500 and then punch it, because there afraid someone would laugh at how long it took there big cam motor to rev.

I didnt rev it because my TPS thinks i am at part throttle and will hover around 2000 RPMS for a second, then come back down. If you ever seen my other exhaust vids, im definately not afraid to rev my motor.

I am not tuned yet, thus the SES light.

Friday I am getting tuned.

Did you try reseting the tps back to 0%, by unpluging the tps, turn the key on to run, wait 10 sec, turn off key, then plug the tps back in.

BTW Sounds great!
