How much does your Large cam'd C5 shake?
just like the title says, how much does your big cam'd c5 shake? for example when my c5 was stock it didn't shake. Put in a TSP 233/239 cam and all supporting mods and now when your sitting in the driver seat it feels like your sitting on my 2002 tricked out road king (or at least close to that).

mine use to shake like crazy and I hated it.
change the motor mounts to the new ones Hinson Motorsports sells and it will stop the shake plus you will feel more torque to the wheels.
I believe they sell stock and lowered heights.

Mine shakes well with the 232/236/114...but it was more aggressive with the 228/228/112 I had prior. The 112 lobe bumped nicely. In hind sight I wish I would have went 112 or 111 on this last build. I miss the more aggressive bump.

What power is your engine doing with that set-up?
Are you still hydraulic valve-train?
Is it still driveable in the school zones?

Idle quality can be somewhat influenced by the tune. For a more aggressive idle lope I like to force Open Loop at idle and then lean it out a little. But there is only so much you can affect with the tune. If you really want the sound and shake, you have to go big with the cam overlap.
