Is anyone running the VT stage 2 cams in their daily driver? I'm looking at these cams as part of an upgrade and I'm wondering how they are day to day and running through traffic. I put about 30 miles a day on my car and sometimes get stuck in traffic. I don't want something that's going to make it a pain to deal with in these situations.

I have VT 2's and it is my daily driver. No problems at all with a tune. Without a tune forget it. It will not idle for ****.

I planned on getting a tune after the install. What is your combo?

I have vt stage 2 cams also and so far it's been fine for me as a daily driver. Tune definitely matters.

Same here. No problems now that I have a tune. Before I had to keep my foot on the gas at redlights and stop signs. It would just die.
