I realize I have slightly a larger engine but not by much. I have hauled enough wood in the back of the bed to make it ride just a hair above the bump stops and it hauled that without a problem.
I'm running the TR220 cam and the TB stall. Definatly get another trans cooler, with just my stock cooler it runs around 160* on average.

how do you like it for daily driver, or on the highway. does it feel like its doggish unless you stomp on it?

I haven't towed any trailers yet, but I wouldn't see any problem hauling around a few ATV's and such.

Pretty good for a DD, on the highway it feels pretty much like stock. There is a slight hint of sluggish off the line with very little throttle. It takes a little more throttle to start rolling than before but after about a week, you don't even notice it. Once you really roll into the throttle, Whoa...look out cause your gone!

Oh and I missed it in your first post, but mine is a 114 LSA.

vinci cams look real good to me. You can have a 220 cam but not with a 112lsa maybe a 114-116lsa to keep the powerband down and usablefor torque and towing.

how much power would it bring back down low by going with a 114LSA? how much of the lope should would be effected.

tr220 in a 5.3 with basically my same exhaust setup. i think this is a 112lsa too.

Here's one with the stock exhaust.

I'll have to get one with the new exhaust, you can hear the lope a little more, but it doesn't have that much to it if you ask me.
