I know I can beat everyone off the line with a bed full of firewood without going into boost, so I am pretty satisfied thus far. Its interesting driving with the blower vs the turbo...with the turbo, it was basically give it some throttle and the turbo would keep spooling even with a constant throttle...so after a time the power would increase without you giving it more throttle. With the blower, you have to WANT it to make boost, which takes more encouragement from the loud pedal.

The cam sounds great! I love the clean, smooth lope that seem to be characteristic of 115+ LSA cams, imo that's how all cams should sound.

You know, technically it's illegal to pump gas with the vehicle running.

I've never understood why people do it, the vehicle isn't going to get hot or cold in the couple minutes it takes to fuel up.

True....but it was cold outside and the wife gets irritated when she is cold, and I wanted to take the opportunity to take this vid

Still haven't gone WOT with the new cam...roads were icy...maybe sometime this week

Check your back pressure with the larger cam. Your exhaust isn't hurting you but the primaries most likely are. Don't run dual 2.5" it's way too restrictive, just change up your muffler setup. Mine is very tolerable with dual 3" into single 4".

Might be able to mess with the bypass valve with a restrictor or an air bleed and get it to close easier to make boost easier if you wanted too.

Have you ever fueled up a vehicle at -45 degrees? You sit in your warm car.

Pat, what mufflers do you have? The annoying rasp mine has around 2300rpm is really the most annoying. I dont have a ton of room under there for mufflers.

Kyle, it can make the boost with more pedal, I was just commenting on the feel between the two.
