That sounds badass. I am about to install that cam on my truck and I hope mine sounds as good as yours. Is that video of your exhaust with mufflers or open headers?

also got to checking i have to buy a old style timing set becuase the 07's cam sprocket has one large bolt instead of the traditional 3 bolts.
heres what the cam sounds like in another truck i found on you tube.

You can use 02 simulators for the two post sensors? I would would use a tune to turn off the rear 02 sensor, and would tune to take advantage of LT's and camshaft.

that stall is too smal, get 3k at least. ITs streetable. Alot of guys run Thunder 224/224's daily. IT just depends if thats the end, or the begiing fopr the cam. If you plan on charging the truck, that cams a little big.
