Going the other way on that one....If you could slap a big lumpy in there and get all the same gains, but make it sound stock....Sleeper and a half.

If you want your truck to sound like its cammed, have your tuner lower the idle speed and take a bunch of timing out of it. It will sound pretty tough, but it may not do as good a job of charging the battery or cooling off a hot cabin.

I'd rather spend a few hundred bucks on a decant cam..and know there's bark with the bite.
