I just put a torquer 2 in my camaro and I've noticed its alot quieter than my T/A, Ive got a MS4 in it. They both have the sewing machine sound but the MS4 seems to be alot louder. I'm running a 7.450 rod in the t/a with a set of LS7 lifters. The camaro has stock rods with LS7 lifters. Exhaust wise the Trans Am does make alot more noise (true duals) compared to the camaro but I was just wondering if valvetrain wise one should be louder than the other. The T/A does leak around the collectors which i'm sure adds to the effect. After listening very closely to the Trans Am its almost like it gets louder when barely on the throttle but then quietens back down with a little more rpm. I even took it to a friend of mine whose a mechanic and put on the lift to make sure nothing was coming from the bottom end. He said it wasn't that the valvetrain is just noisey. I just want to make sure nothings wrong with the t/a. Thanks
