I've heard that, to get the most out of the Magnum R/T cam, it should be
installed centerline straight up.

Yes and a pretty good one from what I've heard and read.

You would start getting a sulphur smell. A bad cat may/should trigger
a 'Check Engine' light or a MIL code. Another way is to put a scanner
on the truck and read the 2nd O2 sensor's output.

This is probably a problem area. If you want to stay with the open air
system,
go to a 14x ~3".

FWIW, I cut 3/10s off my ET by going with BFG drag radials.

Those figures are maximum possible gains and include having the MP computer
and Gen II air filter system (very expensive in Canada) as well as the cam
and cat-back.
A shift kit would also help.
