Hey guys i just rebuild my ls1 motor and i didn't go stock i now have a cam,headers LT,pulley,ported 241 heads,slp lid,410 gears...

you got bigger injectors?get it tuned to get the air fuel ratio right.too lean you can wreck things,too rich can hurt you too.

Yea with a 112LSA you should hear a lope pretty decently. Get it tuned first then see how it sounds

That is because you put 4.10 gears in it and haven't had the speedo calibrated

You can't throw bigger injectors in without retuning for them. Listen, tune the car. Also, who makes that cam?

It's not going run well period if its not tuned. With bigger injectors and not tuned, you are going to dump a lot of fuel in and it's going to ruin your cylinder walls/piston rings but its your car do as you think it fit.

I bet you probably got ripped off. 112 LSA cam should sound way meaner. Please the next time you post, use punctuation. (commas and periods to seperate out sentences. and engrish pwease)

i think this guy is just making some type of joke on us....there have been several comments to TUNE YOUR CAR NOW! Dont wait, but he just keeps saying "i will tune it after i break it in". Yeah,tune it whenever you want but wait until you break it, umm i mean break it in!
To the OP...if this thread is real, TUNE YOUR CAR NOW before you wash down your cylinder walls, ruin your rings, fill your crankcase full of fuel etc and flush all your money down the toilet. Once you tune it then you can "break it in". As for the cam, unless you got a cam card with it and matched the #'s or had it spec'd to prove what it is, I believe you got ripped on it!
Good luck man...enjoy trashing your motor

Yeah, a cam with those specs should sound way meaner IMO.
