Default TR230/224 and LS6 heads installed

Just got my car back from having the TR230/224 cam and livernois ls6 heads installed and it sounds badass . Cant wait to get it tuned so it will actually run worth a **** too because its fine driving around when u keep the rpm's below 2 grand but after you hit about 2.5 the ses light starts flashing so ill have to refrain from getting on it. I will try to get a video of it idling up tomorrow but i have never uploaded a video on the internet before so it might take a while.

sounds great can't wait to install mine. How much of the sound is based on the ls6 heads? I will be installing just the TR230

TR230's are great sounding cams and sound even better when you throw heads on. Your car should roll out pretty well once you get it tuned too. Get ready for some wheels up action (like an inch or two) when you go to the track.

The specs are 230/224 .575/.563 111lsa. Its still untuned so it will die sometimes when its not warmed up all the way but after its warm it will stay running, though it will surge when coming to a stop. I do have a little rubber boot on the throttle stop to help it idle better tho.

Well i got results but they are pretty embarrassing to say the least lol. I told the mechanic to degree the cam in and well he forgot and as luck would have it i was very unlucky and got one that was really retarded. Made no torque and the cars horsepower didnt seem to want to fall off even revving the car to 6800 at which point i told them to stop cuz there was no reason to dyno it anymore.
