Big Nasty Sounding Cam

Yes, we use the cam more than any other one. My tuning process is 3-4 hours, not just a few rips on the dyno. I had it in my 02 Z28 for a year and drove the car year round until the tranny started to go, and it shattered 6 valve springs bouncing off the rev limiter. I had no driving issues, and the cold starts were good as well.

I just put in my G5X4 and had it street tuned, sounds pretty nasty. You can go to www.ls1sounds.com too to here some cams.

Here's a video of a custom ground cam at idle set up we did this weekend, a little different than the G5x3/4.
