No I sure havnt. And not just caring about sound and not performance. I have heard good things about this cam. But yes I admit I am doing it first instead of other mods that would be more benificial because I want that sound. But like I said I am doing heads, intake, throttle body and maf pretty soon after I get this installed.

I would say to much lift, are you using stock E7 heads?
The stock e7 dont flow any better at .500 lift than they do at .400 lift.

687 for that kit?..damn thats high...
with such a small lift cam why not just add some 1.7's and use 600 or so in some nice used aluminum heads?..if you don't need to smog a small daul pattern cam will do sooooo much more

the lift on the stock cam is .444, anything above .500 will require notching

The cam has a decent lift but the duration (what makes the power) is kinda low on that cam. Plus like Samseed said you may want to consider going with a computer compatible cam. I bought the Steeda #19 but the Crane 2031 also fits the bill. There are probably more out there but those are just the two i know off the top of my head.

also i wanted to ask, h/c/i tb and maf should problem be all done at the same time huh. I am not doing it, my mechanic is. Would it be way smarter to get all the parts and install all at once? Or what can be done at once and what can I wait for?????
