Thanks to all those who helped me along the way :SNSign:

Sorry its dark...havent driven the car yet. Still gotta burp the cooling system and set the idle, fuel pressure, and timing.

My FTI cam seems to idle smoother than my comp cams xtreme energy (218/224 .544/.544 112 lsa) even tho the lift and duration is higher. It used to be more lopey with the comp cam, now it sounds more like a european v8 Gonna have to get used to it. I'll try and post up nicer daytime vid later.

no its still 112..same as the comp cam...but the FTI cam is .607/.589 on the lift and 224/230 on duration but it seems to idle smoother. But maybe after I set the timing and play with the idle it will change. But I doubt it...it was idling at 700-850rpm I don't think I will set it much lower.

Well, drove the car today...it idles and runs just like it did with the old cam on the stock cpu. Which means I can drive it while I wait for an appointment at the tuners. I seem to notice a slight loss in low end..but not much. But now it likes to bounce off the 6500 rpm rev limiter like nobody's business. I guess I'll just have ot raise it to 7000 rpm .

Currently its MAC equal length shorties, Bassani x pipe w/ hi flow cats, and dynomax ultra flow mufflers. I have a chitty OR H-pipe also (may install when I get rid of smog equip.) but I may just get rid of that and get an off road x pipe. Or if I cant sell the bassani x I may just cut the cats out of it.

yea I noticed that...I'm gonna double check all the header bolts. But the valvetrain is pretty noisy to so it was hard to differentiate. I really think its just the valvetrain.
