New CAR VIDS!
Examples of how the new setup performs 
All acceleration vids were done on my wife's in-laws property on closed roads. I don't believe in endangering anyone's lives including my own.
Onto the vids!
Idle:
Driveability with F14 HL Cam:
In-Car Nearly Full 1/4 mile:
Outside Car 2 gears:
Far Away To Get an Example of How Loud the TSP True Duals w/X-pipe is and 3 Gears:

its sounds good, but i have to be honest i am very happy i went with a magnaflow and not true duels like that,
and i think drivability has alot to do with the driver also, i daily drive mine with no issues at all
all in all it sounds really good and i bet its a blast to drive, glad to see you got it back already, took me a little longer

nice mike....very nice!!!
although it makes me even more painfully aware of how much i need to have my car retuned. my car will barely idle like that when its been running. just surges up and down

The X-pipe and true-duals makes more power/torque and sounds 10x better. I don't think I'd have it any other way.

Yeah, it runs really well. It pulls all the way to redline (6800?) and doesn't miss a beat, although it's kind of pointless revving it that high without actually racing it. If you look at the dynograph, it makes peak power around 6300 and holds it until 6600, where the graph ends.

It helps when you're 45 minutes away from arguably the best LSx tuner in the country. Do you have a hole drilled in your TB? Every single car I've had needed a hole for an aftermarket cam. I know alot of people say that you don't need one, but there's a reason that Futral uses holes in part of their tuning and the cars that come out of the shop are always extremely drivable.

i beleive there is....maybe it needs to be bigger.
as for being close to Futral....FU
its a 2hr drive to get to the closest highway...which then takes you another 30 mins to get to a decent city.

Badass vids, Mike! 
1400 idle? That's cheating! How bad would the idle be if you turned it down to 800?
I haven't heard about this before. Can you explain what purpose the hole serves, or provide a link to more info or something?

The hole is there to allow more air in at idle so that the cam idles better without freaking out the computer. Sure, you can tune it via the PCM, but it will only help the computer marginally if you don't also drill a hole in my experience.

How big is the hole?
