For "just" having a axle back, she sure does sound like a beast. Congrats brother, enjoy your sweet sounding beauty. On a dude note, are cams safe in daily drivers? I commute about 60 miles Monday through Friday.

That thing sounds badazz man...with your video, you are now officially a member of the cam crew!
I'm looking forward in hearing son's ride when he switches his mufflers this spring.
Dude, how many times is this and "am I gonna loose lowend" question gonna be asked?
NSR cams are definatley safe for dd's. You are just replacing one part with another. Doesn't get any safer than that.
Cam's get a bad rap for dd's, but those are competition oriented and the nsr hotrods and dr's really aren't the same thing. They are the perfect median between sound and performance.
The biggest down side to the nsr cam is the hit in gas mileage for the dd...about another 2mpg hit, but ohhhh how sweet a hit it is!
"Am I gonna loose lowend"...Actually I didn't loose, I gained.
This could be a combination of factors, but I contribute my gains by combining my cam install with CMPD's and shorty (yep I said it) headers.
While the shorty may loose to the longtube in the higher end of the curve, it provides increases in both hp and torque in the lower to midrange of the curve to help with any lose that the aftermarket cam my produce.
So quit worrying and cam that ****. If you need extra money for the install, sell your stereo system...you won't be needing it anymore. The new exhaust note will be all the music to your ears you will need

Just like Mayo said, I lost 2mpg with my cams/longtubes. Didnt lose any lowend, but didnt gain any either. Absolutely no driveability issues, just like stock. i drive 80 miles a day M-F with a good mix of city and highway. No regrets.
