I like the sound the cam produces, doesn't lope much but you can sure tell it's not stock.

yes thats what I liked about it as well...I had the truck running at work getting ready to leave and the UPS driver was like does that have a cam? (he had a G8)

like you said its just enough, but not too obnoxious for a DD

obnoxious when you start it and its shakin ur teeth out when u just wanna get to work in the AM...by the comment I made, for someone who is looking for a cam that will not cause driveabilty issues etc, and make decent power with...its spot on

Im sure you have your own opinion on what a good cam is too...for what I used my truck for, it worked excellent...

Keep it on a 114.I say that cause after time you will want forced induction.If you want more lope turn the idle down 100rpm when you get a tune.

it will work, but not as well...turbos or any FI application tend to like wider LSA cams...114 or bigger is most common

nope. the lower lsa's will bleed off cylinder pressure more so than a higher lsa due to the valve events. and when you're trying to force air/fuel down into the cylinder, you're almost shooting yourself in the foot if you bleed off too much.
