Damn that sounds good man. Did you get a tune? If so what'd they set the idle at? Was that a cold start or a warm start?

Thanks!
This was literally the first start up after I wrapped up the install. It's still on jack stands in the video lol
It's tuned now, it smoothed out a tad after the tune.

Debating my cam selection now. Would you mind getting a couple more videos, please?
Idle after tune, and moderate rev?

What exhaust mods do you have? I have headers to tip about to be installed as well.

Thank you so much!

Idle after the tune.

It's on a very Conservutive tune, drives like stock...might be why it made shhiit for power... Lol I usually do TSP Mail order tunes...
I went local this time...I'm not completely disatified because it drives amazing for a cammed car...

Oh nice bro.

Yeah TSP told me it would sound like the torquer 3 ........
231/234 .648 .598 111lsa

The Tv4 is basically a revised Tv3....just with lower lifts to take it easy on the valve train...perfect for me since I daily drive my Z.
