i ran a 1147b/1522c with factory ecu and a 5 spd in my old wagon and never seemed to hav a problem, pretty sure 818 is smaller again

an 818 will sound stock depending on your tune or it might have an ever so soft lump, not enough to even realise on the street though if u want a stock sounding cam go the 818

My old silver BT1 had a 1522B1147B grind in it.. Sounded awesome, but required a 3200 convertor. when i build an auto for the new Calais, i will put that cam and the ported head back on. Currently it has a baby cam in it, not sure which type as it eas there when i bought it. Compared to a stock cam, its a worthwhile upgrade, even if the mods will only be mild ones.
