Default *Video* Does the car seem to be running good?

Did a quick video today and just wanted some opinions on whether or not it is running good compared to other LT1s with similar mods.

Car has mac mids, slp loud mouth exhaust, eBay cai, s60 w/ 4.10s, 275/40/17 nitto 555rs. Car smells like it is running rich. Its does engine light is on because of missing o2 sensor.

Keep in mind the speedo has not been calibrated to the new gears. According to fbody .org/gears with a t56 and 4.10s and my 25.66" tires I'm doing 60 at 5700 rpm (doesn't seem right to me) using gps on phone my 60 is closer to when the speedo reads 66-67. The ending speed of 115 is more like 106, and takes just under 13 seconds when slowed down in windows movie maker.


filmed with GoPro Hero2 mounted to steering column.

what do you guys think?

Which O2 sensor is missing? Front or rear if it's OBDII? If it's missing a front O2 sensor, then I can tell you w/out watching the video that it's not running right.

Seems to be running pretty strong to me...check for exhaust leaks and does it have a tune?

Get it tuned first, replace the 02, then redo this thread.
