Talking HOT Cam is installed

Man its awesome. I got the hot cam w/ ls6 springs, and the ASP underdrive crank pulley installed today(Thanks SUX2BU ) I've got her idleing at around 750rpm She sounds sick on the street. Every now and then I get some bucking and idle fluctuation...but once I get her tuned in the next couple of weeks she will perform even better. It sounds excellent...the whole car shakes while sitting at red lights, its like massage therapy every 3 blocks or so ..........Next week the 3000 stall and longube headers w/ ory pipe goes in. Damn I can't wait. I'll post up a vid of the cam sometime in the next few days if a can get my hands on my bro's digital recorder. later

Good deal man... I've got mine idled down to 650 on a m6.... Through lt's & duals with 1 chambered flowmasters the sound is pretty satisfying... I tell everybody I've got a two stage idle lol, because with the ac off is sounds mean, but with the ac on & the load it puts on the motor, it sounds freaking sick!!!

Your bringing a little tear to my eye! Remembering when I first fired it up as well. Good to hear you got it in and running.

Yup... My tunning buddy has it set on like 1100 or so on cold start & then when it hits a certain temps it goes down to like 950, 850 ,750 & then 650 upon warm up.... That way it doesn't sit there surging on start up, just smoothly makes it's way to 650 when it reaches it set temp... And yes the lope is pretty cool... Don't forget to get the vids up!
