umm it should shake a lot unless you have solid or poly motor mounts...i know mine shakes a lot...it is also untuned though...i'd say quite a bit of shake is normal for any decently sizedcammed car

400 hp to the wheels at idle? Thats one badass engine. I know what you mean just giving you a hard time. Anyway dont know if youve owned any other f-bodies but the LS1 is pretty refined compared to gen 1 and 2 engines.

How many miles are on your car? How much hard track time? Stock motor mounts wear after awhile, I pulled mine off and they were pretty tweaked, put some prothane mounts on and the engine is rock solid.... the car shakes instead...

Mine shakes a lot with my G5X3 cam, and putting over 400 down. My one friend thinks it looks mean. He says that my LS1 looks "angry".....lol
