    Sounds like your tuner hasn't worked on or touched your VE tables. I know these are not speed density setups but before I did my VE tune my car would surge and die and run odd when cold and would be a bear to start warm... ever since I took a good solid week of driving to do my VE its been so much better.

    Dave that cam still sound sick in that car. Too bad its in a camaro now, that sort of sound is expected from those... it really turns heads when a Cavi or Beretta sounds like that

    This is one of the other vids I did, Instead of the cat in there I just had a straight pipe from the headers to the muffler... that was wicked loud lol

      yeah, my car really isnt that loud at all. i was hopping for a sound liek yours, maybe i'll replace the resinator with a muffler later on. right now my intake has a HUGE whistle, i like it and i dont, sounds like i have a wayy over pullied S/C under my hood :P the idle seems to have kinda fixed it self? how ever my next problem is my noisy lifters, gonna crack that thing open this weekend and get to the end of it. I want a quiet motor, this noise doesnt seem to be getting quieter either... it can only be valve train.

        The Comp springs make a bit of a racket when they're cold.
        Mine does the same thing....really nothing you can do about it.

          i have 4 lifters not pumping up, kinda loosing my mind figuring out whats going wrong, all i can find is rather worn out lifters, or when my head work was done that my valve tips were not ground down after the valve job, thus causing the lifter to not properly pump up.
