Gogoggansgo,
Although the Bama Cam tune does sound awesome, unfortunately we require the exhaust to be catless in order to use the tune. I realize others have used some type of Ghost Cam tune with catalytic converters, but that doesn't make it right.
Ghost Cam tunes sound like aftermarket camshafts because we're able to take advantage of the variable valve timing. With excessive intake and exhaust valve overlap, you start to get the cam idle tone that everyone loves.
In order to maintain a proper idle and prevent stalling, more fuel needs to be used during idle than our normal Bama tunes or stock tune. This causes a lot of unburnt fuel to exist through the exhaust, which will start to clog any type of catalytic converter in the exhaust. Eventually, the cat will become completely clogged or burn out. This is why we only offer the Bama cam tune with O/R mid-pipes.
Hope this clears things up for you. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

With a significant decrease of dynamic compression, it's difficult to keep the engine running at idle. The additional fuel allows for a consistent or less sensitive idle. This is one of the factors that prevents surging or stalling with the Bama Cam tune or any other Ghost Cam tune.

I agree it sounds mean. I am hoping in a couple years there will be some good base times available for us to play around with and do some self tuning. Would be nice to have a couple to switch around. That cam tune would be fun for car shows and such

EDIT: Why are all my recent posts unfinished? I must be getting old and...what was I saying?

I think you have it. I just want to clarify that the Bama Cam tune does nothing performance wise OVER the Bama Race tune. At WOT the Bama Cam tune and Bama Race tune are identical. The only difference between the two is one idles rough with the VVT to simulate a radical camshaft.
Sorry if I'm being redundant. I just didn't want others to get confused and think there was no performance gains over the stock tune, which is false.
