Default 2000 LS1 Z28 with a MS4 cam startup and idle

Hey guys, I'm just posting a video i made of my Camaro Z28 today. It's nothing special and its off of my Blackberry so the quality definitely isn't the greatest. I just wanted to share it with you guys because I know before I had the cam installed, I was looking around for as many cam idle clips as I could find.

Hopefully this will help someone else who may be looking for the MS4 cam, or another big cam similar to it, in hearing how it sounds.

Also, just to add, I daily drive this car. So for those that say DDing a big cam, big stall, big geared car can't be done, may not go for everyone. I DD it and I love it. The gas mileage is pretty bad, but thats something I can deal with. Be forewarned, though, that if you do an exhaust setup like mine, and run a cam, it will be LOUD. Thats the only bad part about the DD aspect. It can sometimes be annoying and when i drive it everyday, I sometimes have to leave my complex early or late and I'm sure it can be very bothersome to neighbors. Oh well.

I drove my ms4 z around everywhere took it on numerous road trips as well. Never hurt the springs at all, no flycutting and still had stock heads.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Driving with the stall isnt bad at all. Ive gotten used to it and dont even really notice it anymore until the pedal hits the floor...then you definitely notice it!

I have not taken it to the track because i have street tires and id probably run a HORRIBLE time because i spin all over the place. I am about to buy a set of Prostars with DRs and skinnies and then i will head over to Zmax. Im hoping mid 11s.
