At lights I see people looking around trying to figure out whose making the noise, then when the see its a late gen car the have a suprised look on their face. The best one I ever had was this old old lady. She looked like she was 75-80 and she kept staring at my car like there was something wrong then she nods her head and says sounds good. lol that made my day. Most poeple dont care for the big noise machine

Hey no need to throw things, like I said, just what I've USUALLY seen/heard about it, that the lower you go, the harder it is to tune it. How's the cold start/warm start idle?

I have been told that i need trusses in my mufflers... I have also been told that .609 lift is waaaaaay too big and that i shouldnt have any higher than a .500 lift cam which the size of a stock cam...haha. I have also been asked if i had a 454 in my car. Everybody that hears it thinks its built... when all it is is a cam only SS with lt's, x-pipe and dumps.

750?! Damn, I'm on 2.73s and this cam idles at 950. I'll check the vids now.
EDIT: Wow very nice, mines is nowhere near that steady. I have to get a vid of inside the car but here's a soundclip of the cold start when it was on it's first tune. I've had the car tuned 3 times after and my tuner dumped fuel out so that the car can hit harder off the line but cold start and warm start she's a bit iffy.

When I drive my car to work every once in a while I drive by alot of farm land, and I usually tend to freak out the horses. They look up and book it across their field its so funny.

Need a vid from inside the car so that I can see the tach. I'm gonna see if I can make mines today but it's a bit toasty out there and I can only imagine how it is inside the car right now.

not "big" by any means, but the big duration split, narrow lsa and icl make it behave like a much bigger grind.
