well after not running for 4 months I got the car back together. Its still got bugs to work out but DAMN does it pull better than before. amazing what just long tubes, A/C & AIR delete, rebuilt tranny #2, and a properly working torque converter will do for ya.

Ok heres the vids...

Yes, I know my "low oil" light is on. Its got enough oil in it, the sensor must be bad. both of the videos are with open headers. the car seems to stumble a little bit. Hope my opti isn't going out since it has pretty low miles on it.
with this car anything below 30 mph is pointless. it spins the tires so easily. I love it

can't wait to take it to the track. my radiator has a small leak in it and I need to get a full exhaust on it. it ran a best of 12.6 @ 109.7 before on drag radials with some issues, most of which I have worked out. I hope to run mid 12s on street tires but closer to 115 mph trap speeds

 

What size cam if you dont mind telling. who does your tuning?

 

Its an LE3 cam from almost 2 years ago. both intake and exhaust are in the 240s @ .050 with under .600" lift and a 10x LSA. can't give out exact specs
I don't know who does my tuning yet lol. madz28 did the mail order tune. I really need to get it dyno tuned.

 

freaking sweet man!!!!!!!!!! Know what it's like being down a long time, love how your setup sounds from a punch too, keep up the good work.

 

Sounds sweet. I am in the process of getting a 381 stroker put in with my LE2 heads and I am pretty sure it is the same cam as you. My buddy built the motor a couple years back and had LE3 (similar heads, before Lloyd had stages) and a pretty big Joe O cam with specs very similat to yours (also cannot give away the specs). Hearing your car makes me so excited, hopefully mine should be up and running in the next few weeks

 

Have your car lopey idle because of your very tight lsa right?? I mean its very lopey. Rolling is awesome!

 

Yes, the cam has a bit of overlap so it lopes pretty good.

 

Did you take her to dyno? Do you think there will be any change after dyno tuning?

 

Sounds alot like my car, I have a 396 . Now you can toss the radio because there is no better sound!

 

Wow, that 383 sounds sick ! I would have expected the 383 to swallow up more of that cam lope, but damn it sounds good. I wonder how lumpy a LE3 would sound in a stock cube LT1

 

Sounds mean!

I love how your going 120mph with the camera on the dash lol.

e-mail me those videos if you can, I'll put them in my collection.

thanks for the kind words. I wish you guys could hear it in real life. that camera does it NO justice. it sounds close to a nascar lol.

bret, I sent the videos to you.

 

thats one mean sounding car.

 

Got the vids... cam sounds good man!

Bret

 

thanks for the vids. u the man, oh and i have a thread in this forum that i just posted if u want to look at it and give me your opinion that would be great.thanks

 

After hearing your beast of a car i cannot wait for my 398 LT4 with LE Trick Flows and LE /Bauer Cam to get finished and put in the car and hear it fire for the first time. Always sounds sweet when it sounds like a nascar car!
