The sewing machine lives!!!
The sewing machine lives!!! Well once again I have amazed my self by somehow putting all the pieces back together again. Right now it sounds like a Asian Nike clothing sweat shop. But maybe after the lifter pump up it will be more "Stealth". Need to clean all the ******* STEERING FLUID from the under carriage. Then about 5 bolts for the front shroud and I'm going for a test drive. Then I'm going to wash it, I think this is the dirtiest it has ever been....
What do you guys in apartments do to clean your engines, I don't want the owners association seeing me cleaning my motor with the hose in front of the house.

Well, a cam with a fast ramp rate is gonna sound like a bunch of third world sweat shop kids pumping out Air Jordans... 
My TSP 231/237, which has slow ramp rates, was actually fairly mild sounding under the hood even though it loped like crazy. My F13 doesn't lope as much, but due to faster ramp rates has a ton of that damn sewing machine sound.
That stealth cam you have is supposed to be stealthy exhaust-wise... no one will know you have a cam unless they know exactly what they're listening for (i.e. sewing machine).

LOL yep anyone who knows LS1's will know something is up. It does have a little lope but it did stock as well so this is just a little bit more. But yes you can hear it chuga chuga chaga along. I'm just glad the damn thing started. There is so much too it and all it takes is forgetting one thing or another then your spending a week trying to figure out where you went wrong if you know what I mean.
All and all not really hard except for the powersteering assembly and steering rack. The radiator is extremely easy funny cause the LS1howto makes it seem like a bitch you just have to take the hoses off first then pull it out.
Anyhoo enough stalling I'm going to start cleaning so I can take her for a ride. I'm kinda giddy

IS that what that noise was? I thought someone ripped the roof off the mill in Scapoose! You get used to the sound, after a while you dont even notice it. Your car 
cam w/LOADEST **** EXAUST! 
cam w/LOADEST **** EXAUST! WOW is all I can say (Blanco I got the stealth because of the driveabilty and power band not the stealth )
This cam is everything I wanted without a tune it runs like stock, Accellaration at least to 4k is MUCH MUCH more linear than stock. The thing is a freaking monster its like driving on an ice rink and again I may have went to 4400 but I doubt it. It has not altered the drivablity of the car at all except that traction control doesn't seem to be able to come on quick enough for it.
WOW WOW WOW can't wait to get it tuned and to the track, top ten here I come!!!! The used to surge with a blip of the throttle now it LUNGES the whole car picks up and just lurches forward. I am EXTREMELY happy
Can't wait until tomorrow after the springs are heat cycled or whatever you call it to go to 6500 through the gears!!

The biggest difference is that we mostly go racing on Friday nights (gates open at 4pm) at Pacific, and when we go to Bremerton we go EARLY in the morning (gates open at 8am) on Saturdays.

I would say screw the neighbors but they are already pretty cool about the car, they really all could complain about the noise but most of them like it, as long as I don't take it out late on a weekday.
