No there are no side effects as ar as drivabililty ive had mine for a year. It dropped my mpg from 20-21 to 16-17 but its worth it it really wakes the car up.

Side effects of camming you're car:

Staying with LS1 cars on the freeway
People staring and complementing your idle
Beating turbo 4 cylinders you previously couldnt
