Let's just say it takes less throttle to get the same feel as I had before the install. I can honestly hammer the gas from a 15 mph roll in 1st and break them loose.

When I hammered it the first time after the install, I kept thinking to my self, "Dang, this thing pulls!" I swear the front end lifts up higher than it used to at WOT all the way up to redline. The drop in TQ at the higher RPM's doesn't seem as noticable either.

I'm able to break my tires loose easier than before. That alone might not seem like a big deal, but at the some time that I did the headers, my new 275/40-17 F1 GS-D3's went on. I used to have 245/50-16's on. So now I am able to more easily break loose wider, stickier tires than I had before.

Sounds very similar to what I'm doing.

I'm going with either the Hotcam kit, or a CC502 in a cam kit. I probably won't do that until next year though.

Then a cam is perfect for you. It will hurt your low end slightly, possibly allowing you to hook up better, and you will have a great top-end.
