I actually called roush and asked them, they suggested jdm, vmp and somebody else i cant remember. Lol

I called and spoke to Jim jr at jdm and he really took the time to reassure me that they could tune d rockers and longtubes via an email tune. I ordered through them. Who did you order from?

I havent ordered yet,(getting my charger tuesday) i really thought i needed a dyno tune but i have learned you can get same results without one. ive been talking with Justin(VMP) and he also assured me this is a tune he can do. i believe im going to get a Wideband and do some data logging. My only problem with Justin is he is trying to talk me into the 500HP tune. lol

How do you like the Rocker Cams? I was thinking of doing the Rockers or the FRPP cams with a Roush M90. But others have said the cams cause a noticeable drop in low end torque - Havd you noticed that?

Also some have said that the cams cause the car to be pretty smelly from exhaust gases. How bad is this????

Thx for the thread drift......

I have 4.10 gears and since installing cams my car just is sh#t for low end. I cannot spin the tires from a dead stop. That's freaking pathetic. The top end is great and have gained 3+ mph at the track. The cams are cool, sound great, drive great except the low end. I think its the tune myself.

Jobennet......Jim jr talked to me about the 500 hp upgrade but also said with the cams and longtubes I would be on the edge already. How do you plan to datalog? Does anybody actually do this with the sct? I know it's possible somehow.....

The smell is minor.....yeah it stinks a little but doesn't bother me.
