I have no regrets. The SS1 is actually not a small cam. If you get a chance, go to YouTube and search " 2014 L99 GPI SS1 Cam ". The SS1 sounds nasty. The stock torque converter has worked very well. When you cold start the car you can sense that the car is pushing on the brakes slightly, but not bad. At a stop light if you ease off the brakes a little you can feel the car rock just a bit when the cam is chopping. I actually like it, my wife will ask me why it does that and I laugh and tell it's because the beast wants to go. With the Heartbeat there is instant torque. I know a bigger cam would make more horsepower but my build has way more horsepower than I will ever need. You can smoke the tires just about anytime you want to at any speed. My set up makes about 8 1/2 pounds of boost. Everyone seems to agree 600 horsepower is pushing the limits of the automatic anyway. The Heartbeat is an easy install, things are a little tight at the rear near the firewall but about the same as changing an intake manifold. I would recommend doing the cam and supercharger at the same time if you can. You're going to have blast. Every where you go it will draw a crowd.
