here's another clip from inside the car.. you can also see what my shiftlight is doing now.. randomly doing the sequencing thing.. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD THE CAMS CAUSE IT TO DO THAT I DON'T KNOW! lol

I was thinking the same thing actually, especially with the Full exhaust set up. But I love it!

by smooth do you mean the idle isn't jumping everywhere? or something else?

no... ithe idle isnt rough, normally, an untuned vt stage 2, sounds like a freaking racecar, and you can hear every lope of the cam...yours sounds like an untuned stage 1 or a tuned stage 2

no.. the cams weren't degreed. the install would've been pretty cut and dry if it weren't for the valvesprings lol

i dunno.. it sounds like a few other untuned stage 2's i've heard. i've also been told it sounds muffled so it might be from the steeda cat-back too. i dunno, i think it sounds much better in person.

I think he means the exhaust doesn't "lope" as much as most other stage 2's that we've heard.

I dunno.. it does sound kinda less lopey in the video.. i think it might be the camera though, cuz you can hear it a lot better in person

well if you look at the second vid the car was still a lil cold, call me crazy but when my sixer is warm the exhaust tone gets alot deeper, maybe it's the same with the Cam, one the engine warms up it'll be louder...and when it's tuned she can play with the right pedel a bit and we can REALLY hear it...

3rd my camera sux too, so like Badfish said i wouldn't be surprised if it's just the camera...lol was that the 7.1 pixel camera u used Csledd?

I know. Id rather have less lope then a leaned out engine. Personally I dont like the sound of a lope that can barely keep the idle up.

Yea, sounds smoother to me, but its prolly the camera, and you arent really getting up close to the exhaust. Glad to see it running Christie. Congrats.

I emailed my tune to a friend and he added some more fuel to it for me, gonna load it up today and see if it helps the little issue its having when you step on the gas
