jet hot longtubes and a y-pipe. no emissions, just your basic bolt ons. my pcm for the car is being tuned atm so i had to throw my stock 96 pcm in there for now. will run much better with a tuned pcm.

Sweet. . . . Wish I had an endless budget. Too many damned hobbies. Car is on the backburner through summer.

do you have stock heads? I could be wrong, but i thought a gm847 was too big to make good power on stock heads?

on another note, it sounds awsome man

yep stock heads here. they still make more power than a stock cam. the heads stop making power after somthing like 6-6300 rpm. still worth it.

in order to get everything out of the cam, you need better heads, ported intake and larger throttle body. otherwise its not going to make over 400 hp if that. but thats fine for me. it puts a little more excitement into driving it again. almost like a new car.

heres what shes like with a madz28 tune

Honestly, I liked how the stock tune sounded compared to the tuned But the trade off is the power!

the tune made a huge difference. the idle is higher now and helps with the low oil pressure. after doing the videos, i went ahead and put my bulelt muffler on. a lot quieter but still nasty

Yea, low OP sucks, a small downfall of our LT1 at idle.

And you shouldn't have mentioned the muffler lol Now we need another video
