Sounds really good
Lots more Hp at 3000 rpm's and up
Runs ok but stalls when at idle. I'll drive it for a couple of hours and see if it helps any

Did the stalling go away at all after driving for a while. My trifecta tune should be here soon to but I still need to drive the car to work just for a few days

The balance shafts spin twice as fast as the engine, and ~15k RPM they risk exploding

Damn that's what I thought
Maybe I'll ask for express shipping on that GT Tuner
Thanks for all your help through this whole cam swap of mine.

After driving 2 hours at various Rpm's yesterday + driving at a steady 2000 rpm's for another hour today to work the car finally does not die completely at idle. At least it's safe for a couple of days until I get my GT Tuner.

I'll post a review after I get it tuned and go for a few runs.

there is a balance shaft delete kit that is sold however it has not been proven that a motor can survive long term without them. they're typically only removed in a race engine

you are better off with neutral balance shafts. I still have my stockers though

good thing i got them then. i thot i wasted $400ish lol

kinda OT but isnt removing a the balance shaft a pretty common mod on SRT-4's. i know its a different engine and all but i thought it was pretty common with those. i might be thinking of something else though.
