Default Sound byte from cam/header install

Installed a Comp Cams SI5 cam along with Stainless Works headers on my 2000 FRC. Here's a link to a sound byte I made. Now I need to get an LS6 intake on it to free up the intake side.

Cool. I just installed a 224/230 .585/.595 113 LSA cam. I wanted the "lope" sound and I got it. I didn't realize that it would shake the car this much at idle. At a stoplight, it's a real "boobie jiggler".

(preemptive edit - I don't mean my *****. )

Very funny! To the OP, sounds mean. What are the specs on that cam, besides LSA?

Hi Tim, thanks - no, I had it done at Speedinc near Chicago. They did a real nice job.

I'm taking it on a 4 hour run tomorrow so I'll check it out with real numbers then. I'm not believing the DIC since it's showing practically no difference.

so..... How was the MPG Steve? Did you have a good time on the run? Btw, would you mind send me a PM of what the cam/headers parts and labor set you back (if you don't mind me asking)? Thanks, Tim

Well, I'm still just under 1/2 tank of gas so I haven't gassed up yet. DIC was showing 27.5 for the round trip and I'm starting to believe it based on previous trips to same location.

sounds great.

If you're looking for a LS6 intake, I'll have mine for sale in a couple of weeks. Taking mine off for a FAST92 and some other goodies. I'll have the manifold, injectors, and tb available for sale once it's done.

Thanks for the offer, I picked up a brand new LS6 intake on ebay so I'm good to go for now.
