its got a nice idle sound. kinda sounds like an agressive cam.

topgun1 · 07-22-2008, 10:11 PM

that sounded like the red camaro in front of it, not a smooth modern small-block exhaust sound.

Its it me or do those tailllights look like an alien or something?

I'm going to guess that was a prototype of the L99 engine. Nothing to base that on, but its a hunch

That sounds way too cammed to pass smog, especially here in Cali.

I just don't know yet...

Possibly AFM, making it sound odd? at low rpms

Nope. No AFM at idle.

Really? low rpms, no load seems like the perfect time for afm. I think I have read that on here before though.. no afm at idle, just not sure I believed it.

It did sound odd, NOT like a high lift/ long duration cam..... but hey my comp has 1 inch speakers
