According to his sig it's mostly stock. I think he put a 255/260 cam in and a tornado to get that kind of sound. Wait till he goes out and hits that 1800 stall.... Yeah baby!!!

DrEvyl Oct 30, 2005 12:43 AM

Litte bit of a cam in there? Hmmm.

Red Cell Oct 30, 2005 01:31 AM

sounds mean for a lil LT1!!

TwoFast4Lv Oct 30, 2005 03:03 AM

Well she is up and running. After I got the Exhaust done it was Quiet as a mouse ready to eat a snake :devil: This thing is so quiet the pipes are louder then what come out of the muffler! It seems to have a small traction issue. If you hit it at 50MPH the tires spin wildly for some reason?? Going to have to look into that.

BTW Mike I sent some goodies home to you...one of them will make your car move again :D

Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!

Thats a beautiful thing to hear that car run.

WAHUSKER Oct 30, 2005 10:45 AM

CONGRATS!!! I'll bet it feels nice to finally get that beast running! Now about that blue car...... :judge:

Oh, the idle sounded kinda rough, you might want to check that out Jimbob! :devil: :hail:

Hehehe It does feel good to have the pink car (teal is the new pink you know) running :jest: After sitting for many years a few other things have gone wrong. First thing I noticed was the power seat switch no longer goes front to back only up and down. Next we found the High Beam switch is stuck on low beam. Lots of little things need taken care of. SHe also needs a visit to the local "Car Salon" up on English hill ;) All this does not even cover the hours of tuning it is going to take to get the rather high CR to live on pump gas even with large injectors ;) I still need to do some more Exhaust work. I got one of those Flapper door things to put on it and the rear muffler is hitting some where.

As far as the "Other" blue car? I got one side of the motor done ;) all the Drive train is in it...just not all hooked up. to much other stuff to do and to many other cars to work on ;)

I will say this. If you come across a Teal car and JimBob is behind the wheel. THink twice about what is about to happen :D

CHarris Oct 30, 2005 01:05 PM

The old combo in the [Pink] car sent at least one LS1 to the grave over in Kitsap county. And it wasn't just a wounding of the owners pride. The LS1 was wrecked. The other driver was definitely out of his depth.

jimbob Oct 30, 2005 03:10 PM

Sounds stock to me....... :devil:

My Sig still stands.....

riiiiiiiiiight and my car has been running on the track the last month. Sounds completely stock. :jest:

At least I don't feel quite so bad, there are enough cars that sat this season in the "when I get time" lane. They might be running 10's by the time they get done but its...comforting...knowing mine isn't the only one gathering dust.
I swear, as soon as I stumbled across you all the car ran FINE every year without a problem. May have to re-evaluate that ;)

Congratulations. Thats the best news I've heard in a while, and the best sound I've heard in a while.
