If your car is gonna thump, it better damn well make the power to back it up. Playing with the LSA on the TiVCT settings is the only thing causing this "lope".

PS, it just drives nuts that some idiots actually think that they gain power like what we do with an actual cam swap. SMH!!

I was with you 100% until you stereotyped every stang owner together, especially when so many camaro owners are much worse with the whole "rice" situation. Its in every car group.

There is no power difference between a "ghost cam tune" and a regular tune. Ghost cam tune is pretty homo. It is as bad as the dudes that add fake badges to their car.

The difference is that the ghost cam tune is pretending / possing like you have something that its not there. The catback just extracts / amplifies the sound that the motor puts out and is already there. In some situations catback offers some power gains too.
