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.

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.

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...
Lol nice. Yeah the neighbor from two houses down comes out and says,"man that sounds real nice but can you not do it at 2 in the morning...." Btw good sounding car you got there sir.
yea you can but x2 on letting them know that your gonna run it with a ms3 so they can recess the valves. Im actally lookin at my ms3 and prc 2.5s right now. I had tsp set me up with the package and they recomened the mls gaskets and 7.4" pushrods to go along with some ls7 lifters and ls2 chain
