ok, so i just got my 94 Z28 back together

i ported the heads SLIGHTLY

and it has pacesetter LT's and an ORY for an exhaust right now(no catback)

and i started it, and it sounded like maybe it was chopping a little?

the tone was steady, but there was a little rasp that sounded slightly cammed

it still has the stock cam, so could this just be the exhaust?

You crossed a plug wire somewhere. Double check them all.

Yes, since you're only running the ypipe, the exhaust pulse will be more pronounced. Hey, aslong as it sounds good. Congrats on your new mods.

i dont think i adjusted my valve lash correctly, as the car runs slightly rough

Did you get it all figured out? Was it the valve lash?
