Since I have no comparison to a non-cam'd setup on this car, I have to say it drives and feel great...but def more at the top end where it feel really strong.

And the braking issue isn't that serious if you know it's there. I have a steep driveway at home and I need to give the car some decent gas once I wait for the garage to open and I know to keep my foot near the gas once I let off....or I just let it stall and coast into my parking spot lol.

But seriously, it's not a big deal if you know to keep an eye on your RPM when on a slope where you may give things more gas than normal from a stop.
