[VIDEO] My new 406 engine..
The sound quality sucks.. Need to get a new camera...
Anyway -here's the video...
http://www.corvetteforum.net/c3/gran.../engine406.wmv
I do have a MPEG version of the video, but I can't host it.. If anybody wants the mpeg version, I can send it as e-mail, unless somebody can host it for me...

.. Inbetween - I'm trying to install a regular driveshaft, but I'd need to change out my pinion yoke because of the u-joint size on the driveshaft. I already tried a 400 ft/lbs impact wrench and the nut that holds the pinion yoke in place just won't come out... There will be burnout videos.. but not from the street.. I only do burnouts at the track (or in front of the NCM
)

open sidepipes.. That's what I've always used
Tried to set the idle and the engine won't idle below 1100 RPM.. but that's not a surprise considering the cam duration
