Default new mods finaly complete for now.....

well me and my brother in law tore into my engine on friday evening and finished it saturday nite at midnite....
We installed crane cams "Z" cam mainly a 224 cam on a 114,valve springs,arp rod bolts,clevite bearings,ls6 oil pump,ls6 timing set,and new gaskets.....The cam really made the car more responsive and gained a ton of midrange power plus about 4-500 more useable rpms....I also gained alot of oil pressure as well...everything went pretty well my oil pan was leaking and there was alot of cleaning to do...lol

here is some videos of the idle through a cutout and my shitty catback my muffler has a bffle broken inside it and it makes the car sound awful.....

HERE IS THE VIDEO
