Seems like a lot of posters are running a muffler louder than a Z06, your engine sounds are drowned out. GM went from the stock LS1 cam to the Z06 cam without significant noise increase. Looking for 08 LS3 power level with heads, cam, headers, near 'stealth' as possible. Don't want a streetable race/'funny' car.

I feel sorry for the folks that blindly follow "definitive" advice "if you swap the lifters your problem will go away" posts; that's a lot of work and dollars for little to zero improvement 99% of the time.

That's some big azz cams compared to what I'm running. I got caught up in the cure for the sewing machine noise by replacing the lifters, push rods and rockers and NONE of this quieten the sound by much...BTW..love the power...don't hear squat in the car cruising..only when along side something or inside the garage at home.
