Yes. But not so much lately. I can't take a chance getting stuck out in the rain. Need some rear tires something fierce. So I've been driving my s10 more.

I used to DD mine but now it’s about once a week since I live a mile away from new job.

GPI Stage 4 cam and 5k stall. Mpg sucks but it’s doable

The only reason I don’t any longer is because we moved and we got a 3rd car for my wife to commute in so I drive my truck 3 days a week. You’ll be fine tho man. Getting groceries in your cammed 5th gen is an amazing feeling, you’ll turn all the heads.

Damn man never letting him touch again is brutal lol. And yes I definitely get it. Like I said I'm coming from a cam. I did love packing kids and groceries into the maro. Remote as we strole up for sure. I think 90% of the time I stopped at a gas station got a compliment. Even had an old lady in a Prius salute. I CAN NOT wait to have her back.

Man again and again. Ty guys making me realize it wasn't me dailing my baby. Just maybe a shady first install or just plain bad luck.

My previous 5th gen I had 20,000 miles on the car with a cam. I Kept the lift under .630 on advice given to me by the builder. GPI has fast cars but all their cams have high lift on exhaust and Intake. With my present 5th gen I'm going to do the same and keep lift under .630 and probably install TSP stage 2

Awesome awesome I'll look up the spec on the BTR stage 2.

Edited looks like we're in the .612/.585.
