well for the most part, old people dont put longtubes, catless x pipe, catback, and a haltech intake with a bung plugged from where the spray was at...


Also very possible this car has a stealth cam.

Thats why i ask, id like the info on the car

Post up pics.

Also, lose that sig. That's nothing to be proud of.

Edit...Nevermind. I see it was gone before I finished posting.

stealth cams arent exactly stealth. Its easy to know if you have a cam or not. valvetrain noise is easily noticeable.

I mean thats just what I hear

new Screen name.

I havent even taken pics of the car yet, i dont notice any unnatural valvetrain noises, it just seems to run abnormally well for just having full exhaust and an intake. It doesnt sound cammed by any means, i just figured it maybe a baby cam thats hardley noticible.

Pretty simple to remove a valve cover on a Corvette. Just need a 10mm deep socket and you can pull it off to see if the valvesprings are still OEM. If so, it doesn't have a cam in it.

How does it run without a cam?

Sorry I couldn't resist, I knew what you meant but it struck me as funny.
