Sounds as good as it looks, not too loud at an idle and a healthy lope. That's not a stock GM cam is it?

Love it, sounds great! Can't wait to hear it at full tilt and get your take on the new mufflers.

Engineering at it's BEST Stielow & Co. knocks another one out of the park.
Mark thanks for sharing all your builds, I really enjoy reading through them and I always find something new and interesting in the builds even though those new and interesting things tend to make me spend more than anticipated. lol

Have you noticed much difference between mid and long tube headers performance wise? Looks like you are running mid lengths and 3” exhaust correct?
