Default Just got cam installed, quick question.

When I got my car back, I noticed it almost sounded like it had a knock or something. My installer said that it was just the valvetrain and that ls1's are known for having them after installing a cam, is this true??

Thanks,
Ryan

depends on what it sounds like.
having new springs with more spring pressure
will make under the hood sound like a sewing machine.
the sound will speed up throughout the rpm's

Ok, thats definately what it sounds like and it does pick up as that revs do. He told me I had really good springs and that most cars were even louder than that..
