Video - Idle/Rev Vengeance cam - cutouts closed and open - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SSDan · 02-15-2012, 06:47 PM

I put up a quick video clip for the intial start up for this cam package last week. So, I took a little time today to shoot a little longer video for the finished product - tuned and readyto roll! I apologize if the clip is a little blurried and shaky (Blair Witch style). I did my best with an iphone.
I also tried to give a side view to show the drop springs. See my sig for mod details. Enjoy!

sounds great.

bersterman · 02-15-2012, 07:59 PM

You've got bit more than I plan on (CAI, springs/sways, catch can), but what did this run installed? I'm just loving that Vengeance cam sound...

GunnyG · 02-15-2012, 08:04 PM

God Bless America! That was great. :flag2:

...damn I didn't even think about doing cut outs with my cam swap next week.... I am just concerned of the eventual failure of the mechanism..

MIKnam67 · 02-15-2012, 11:30 PM

Sounds awesome. Mine goes to Vengeance Mar.1 Hope it sounds as great as yours!

Avenging Orange · 02-16-2012, 12:28 AM

Wicked!

Zyklon-SS · 02-19-2012, 07:51 AM

Sorry about the slow replies folks. I've been too busy elsewhere to tend to my Camaro 5 duties! Sorry! I'll send you a PM on what I spent.

The dmh cutouts have a 4 year warranty so I rolled the dice on reliability. If I get a failure after that I can always cap them off or remove them if I don't want to spend any more money. I also saw your Youtube post. LOL - I do not run with the cutouts open for very long. Just on the occassion to run up through the gears ( that sounds just awesome) and at idle to show off to friends or at a stoplight. The cam lopping/chopping sounds best through the OEM mufflers in my opinion. Also once at cruise speed the cabin noise is hardly louder than stock which I really like.

What are you having done? Post up your results. Ron and the rest of the Vengeance crew will take good care of you.

It drives like a good old cammed car should. It shakes a little at idle. Its a little cranky on a cold start if you try to pull away without a minute or two of warm up. It will surge a little at low rpms in parking lots - etc. Not a big deal - just have to adjust your driving style a little. And when you lay into it - it screams

Good to hear. I have an L99, so I needed to rid myself of the resonators. Will be very curious to see how it sounds through the Borla S type mufflers.. I guess I will see how that sounds before we address the cut outs, but those would be great for the shows I attend.

I guess as long as the failure occurs, they are closed and not open lol. I don't have the jack stands to stick my head underneath.

How are the springs and sway bars? Really been tempted to start messing with my suspension.

f5journal · 02-28-2012, 11:46 AM

I may have to take a little trip to Leesville

The stance on the car is great. Its the way this car should look standing still. The sway bars made a noticeable positive difference for handling. Turns through curves are flatter and my confidence in making a turn and holding it is up. Definitely a good add on the sways. The only negative for the drop springs are in combination with the AR headers and HF cats I don't have but about 3 1/2 to 4 inches of ground clearance at the HF cats. Unless I take a sharp forward exit ( one wheel at a time) out my driveway I scrape the cats. Big speed bumps - the same thing. The springs also firm up the ride - not a bad thing really - again makes the car feel and handle tighter. I'm glad I did it and don't plan to change back. Just have to watch the ground clearance. If you do this setup make sure to get a 4 wheel alignment using the proper specs for Pfadt and keep the alignment print out so you have it for the future.

Sure! I'd be glad to give you a little ride - cutouts open and closed

Just let me know when.
