LE2 Heads/Cam are in! Videos inside!
Man... I couldn't believe how much faster it felt than my old setup, even with my two buddies in the car (big guys, 200+ lbs - no offense guys 
).
The LE2 cam is great. Part throttle driveability is smooth, idle is surprising smooth while visciously lopey at the same time.. I don't even get it hehe.
The car pulls so hard at the end of the RPM band, it was definitely missing that before.
Hope to take it out to the track tomorrow.
Here's two version of the vid. The beginning of the vids the cutout in uncapped. I pissed off my neighbor so I ended up capping it and forgot to take it off for the test runs.
Again special thanks to redemn93, Cmr0Z28, and (F)ast-body for all the time and help!
Short version (12mb):

Long version (37mb) - lots of repeated runs:

I'm not fat I'm big boned. 
Thank you Bret for designing an awesome cam. That bitch has absolutely no cam surge with the converter locked and is so smooth when driving....then when you gun it, OH ****!

car runs amazing. even the tune seems to be dead on. would like to see air/fuel ratios though. the it seems dead nutts on. car drives smooth as it did before. but pulls alot harder. especially third gear. doesnt loose power like before, just keeps on pulling. cant wait till tomorrow.

Well, I like to be conservative with my goals at first, but I'd like to see some solid 11's tomorrow, then bring the #'s down from there.
My exhaust setup is Hooker LT's, 3" custom ypipe, and a Hooker catback. In the video where it was idling around, I had my cutout open.
