Thumbs up MS3 install complete (video)

Just finished up putting on Pacesetter headers, y-pipe, SLP lid, MS3 cam, springs, rods, & LS2 timing set. Here's a video of the second start up. It's not tuned yet.

Thanks man, I'm glad it turned out good. It was my first motor work I did by myself. Lots of help from ls1howto.com and lots of borrowed tools from dad. Did it all with no air and no power tools.

I believe so, I think I recall reading it's a good match. Not sure, check with a sponsor.

Yea if you let Texas Speed know when you order it so the can set up the proper valve drop.

Run a OEM thickness HG too. The gm MLS are nice pieces and cheap too..

Looks like you still have the stock LS1 intake if so you need to upgrade to atleast an LS6 intake to help that cam breath and do you have a stall I dont see one in your sig if not I would go with atleast a 4000 if I were you with a cam that big and your cars sounds mean.

I have the Ms3 myself what is your LSA? Sounds great, but that ls1 intake is going to bottleneck the **** out of your setup with that cam.

Thanks man, wouldn't want it any other way. Letting someone do your engine work is like letting someone bone your girl. Had this car for 8 years now, I don want anyone elses fingers in it...

I'm looking around for a deal on an intake, I'm getting a stall in a week or two as well as stranos and slp bilstiens because it sets too low.

Haha! I did the same thing. The first startup was the night before I shot the video. It was only around 11, well when it started every light in the house next door came on including front, back, and garage porch lights. Damn old ladies...
