ok, well I'm really curious how this plays out, what it ends up costing, what it sounds like and what you get out of it performance wise.

Ended up going with another shop. Just the swap and DOD delete was going to be $950. Since I’m also replacing the oil pump he tacked on another $400 bringing the total to $1350.
Heading to Vegas in the morning. Hope I can foot the bill when I get back...

X2! Been wanting to do the same thing on the Yukon. Obviously different motors, but same concepts and I can extrapolate expectations from the noted gains. [emoji16][emoji106][emoji631]

Hoping to pick it up Monday. Can’t wait.

That btr stage 2 is the 212/218 cam right? I have that in my 6.0 and love it!

That’s correct. Excited to see how this turns out.

Its a super torquey cam, makes the truck feel much more responsive IMHO. Excited to see how you like it!

Is yours the original version or the revised one? Supposedly the second gen has even more torque that the previous one.

Picked it up about an hour ago. Haven’t driven a ton but I do know I need BlackBear to revise the tune, it’s stalled a couple times already. Remote start isn’t working but I might need to clear codes. I haven’t checked that yet.

Here’s a warm start. I’ll get a cold one soon.

Apparently half my post didn’t make it.

Right now I really don’t notice much. Might be the tune though. It’s not running too hot right now.

Going to get BlackBear to revise it and go from there. Feel like I will end up getting a dyno/street tune.

I’ve heard trucks with the same setup (headers/cam) with factory exhaust and it’s way more aggressive. Maybe the tune? Hell if I know.

The exhaust smells super rich. And that’s straight E85.
