Hi a few weeks to a month or so I saw a post that had a guy and his 540 camaro doing some open header runs infront of his house. Where did that post/video go? everytime I get the blues I like to see some good 'ol horsepower burnouts...LOL That video made me smile!

I love that video too!! What are the specs on that cam and what manifold and carb do you have on there if I may ask? Thanks.

 

[mikes78]

Ahhh yes, the simple things in life...seeing that again just made my day!! I just bartered a 454 with 781 ovals and think im gonna build a 496 with it...not sure if I should keep the 781 or just sell off the heads and rotating assmy and buy aluminum heads? Decisions decision...lol

I love that video. That little Camaro just stands up and screams.

Thanks again for posting that, it makes me feel all happy inside.

That's the clip I'm sending to UDHarold for when he designs the SR for my 'vette engine. It's definitely a no bull$h!t, all business idle. Black stripes for as long as you keep the loud pedal pressed. Absolute gearhead porn, no doubt!

Ask for his "T" grind when you talk to him. 283/291@.020, 255/263@50, 180/187@.200, .718"/.718", .018" valve lash.

I may sell my Voodoo 60234 for one of these.....

Since this engine is my "tribute" to the L88, I'm going to shoot for the same .050 numbers as the original L88 solid flat, which I understand to be 264/270 @ .050. I'm also using a 3.75" stroke crank (but 4.600 bore) and a set of aluminum heads (Pro Topline 320's). I am shooting for .725 gross lift or so since I'll be running shaft rockers. With the short stroke, I may end up moving the LSA to 112 or so to make it a bit more driveable.
Thanks for the recommendation, though - I'll be sure to include that when I talk to Harold next time.

 

[Shawn Gilbert]

Well since my motor is down 5 MPH it doesnt so much scream like that anymore . I forgot how good it did sound hehe.

Thanks I have been depressed since this weekend and these post actually make me stick my chest out and puff up again!

Me too buddy. Im going to save for a cam and intake change pretty soon.

I like the looks of that cam, but I would think it would be harder on parts while making more power.

Hey Shawn, why not give him a call and find out how it fares against that voodoo?

What I like about the voodoo 60234, is the ramps are designed with soft closing ramps for longevity. It was made for a street/strip car.

X5! This is one of my favorite car videos and I'd love to see it again. I had the link saved but it stopped working a long time ago. It would really help with the winter blahs about now. That thing is mean and sounds awesome! Please repost.
