DAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMNNN! That looks great!

Low Truck FNG · 08-25-2003, 10:43 AM

Very nice! It's been fun watching your project come together. Isn't the smell of a new engine running for the first time the best smell in the whole world? I love that smell!

Low87 · 08-25-2003, 11:33 AM

Looks great!

**N2TRUX** · 08-25-2003, 11:41 AM

It sounds awesome. You gotta be pumped about it now. Every time you don't feel motivted about working, just fire it up. That will get you going....

gldevall · 08-25-2003, 11:49 AM

I can't hear it. It keeps giving me an error message. Guess I'll have to wait until I get home to hear it.

solidaxel · 08-25-2003, 12:15 PM

I love that smell..........right next to burning money!!!!

Nvbowtie · 08-25-2003, 05:39 PM

I had to download a newer version of media player at work to hear it also, but if you dont have treble control, all you hear is the gear drive, love that sound

It does smell good,

but my headers are not nice anymore,

oh well more money will fix that, may save for ceramic coated ??

I just used cheap flowmasters ($ 79.00) to get it broke in and going for now, easy change out

**68 Stepside** · 08-25-2003, 11:49 PM

That is very sweet!!! I love the sound of the cam, and the gear drive! I had the same cam in my 85 Z28, nice idle huh?

82 Silverado 4X · 08-26-2003, 05:35 PM

Sounds really sweet!! Betcha can't wait to take it out to rattle some windows!!

Ric83 · 08-26-2003, 09:39 PM

Man, that is purdy!!

79BIG10 · 08-27-2003, 12:57 PM

Man that gear drive sounds sweet as hell!! Makes you think you have more in there than you actually do. Glad to see you got it going up and running

79Shortbox · 08-27-2003, 04:17 PM

Dang, that's nice, and that gear drive sounds fresh! Nice job.

Nvbowtie · 08-27-2003, 09:18 PM
