A few things noticed or confirmed with larini clubsport s after more driving today. Down low punch is less than stock, you can now feel cam switch over...with stock its very smooth. After cam switch it is frantically quicker than stock. I cant say it gives you anything more as you lose than make up the difference but its clearly a different driving experience.

Stock, quick down low and smooth cam switch.
Clubsport, not as quick to 3500 or 4000rpm but after that screams with a distinct cam switch over on acceleration.

I'm curious now what the header or sport cat would do to the acceleration characteristics...would it smooth things out? Would it allow down low power to be more present or just emphasize everything more? Those that have done a full setup what do you feel or experience?
