The Z is alive again!
well here she is idling..... Not sure if you can tell theres not a stock cam in there
It is running through headers,cats and stock Z mufflers with the baffles closed
I took it for a drive and it feels kind of sluggish(to me that is).. but it is maxing out at 21-22 degrees timing and getting an AFR or 10.3-10.4..... Its no wonder its lazy. Mike Norris is going to tame this cam for driving then I will tune WOT on the track. I'll keep ya posted.
Here's the idle clip

Don't think that will make it on the bolt on list pal....
If that's baffles closed, I want to hear them open!
Sounds MEAN Norm. Can't wait to see you hanging the hoops.

I was able to do a few HP tuner scans today and I wired my WB thru the AC pressure switch today as well. I have the WOT PE close enough to take it to the track. If all goes well I will run it wednesday night. Most likely will have the stock seats in and maybe front skinnies. I ordered new hoosier 315s which wont be in til after then so I will run my old 275s for now to shake it down.

Your car sounds good. 
Are you going to get it on a Dyno? I have two quick questions only because I am curious. Why the automatic transmission and did you ever find out the cause of the intake valve(s) failure?

I still don't know what caused the valve failure but I was scared of the remaining stock intakes even before we found the second one was about to drop.
