Beware the volume.

That's because it is a V8.....

I dunno.... that clip is a lot meaner than a lot of 8's that Ive hear. either way, I dont think anyone can put him down about it. Awesome sound dude!!

[Timbo1969]

Oh I wasn't saying it doesn't sound good, it sounds great for a 6. It just doesn't sound like a V8. A V6 no matter what you do to it will not sound like a V8. It might to someone who doesn't know the difference, but to the trained ear it's blatantly different

[intangibleassetmanager]

From my crappy Dell laptop speakers, it sounds like a diesel...

I am sure it sounds wicked in real life though.

[AZ3.8Camaro]

If you listen, the second time I revved it, it went up pretty high and didn't rasp that much at all. Thats what a cam can do for your sound also..
I never said it sounded like an 8, but I think it sounds better than a lot of 8s...

When I want to hear a V8, I will start my next project.
You all know what that is.... [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]


Instead of EMailing a bunch of people, here is the lobe list...
3303 On this list.

Enjoy.

that sounds incredible man, keep up the good work. Is that a first gen camaro for your next project?

[AZ3.8Camaro]

Yeah I posted more in the lounge about it.
Its a 69 RS Z28. DZ302 Engine that is pretty much built to the hilt. I will convert to solid roller cam and maybe Fuel Injection...

Thanks for the complements everyone. Anymore cam questions, let me know. I also did the install myself, for those that don't know, so you can ask for advice if you need. I am happy to help.

[ellik]

you wouldnt have done a write-up on your install, or had one that you followed, have you? were the springs required for this cam? aside from gaskets, what other parts were required for the swap?

[AZ3.8Camaro]

I will write a page on in sometime soon.
I roughly followed Magnus' writeup.

Not much else needed. I broke a plastic tube from the intake manfold to the front cover (water pump) area. It was a good thing to replace anyways.

Springs were not needed. I just like to be safe, plus I got them for $20.00 with LS1 Valves (didn't use the valves).

Excellent. Thanks.
