If it gets too severe, I'd check the sparkplug wires. For some reason on my L99 the cylinder #6 wire worked itself loose over time. The dealer swapped out the wire but the problem still reoccurs infrequently.

Try to fuse pull on #5 and #20 overnight and see if it smooths out.

I have 1456 miles on mine as of today.

OH, . . ^THIS TOO^ I forgot to mention the same thing happened to me and the fuse pull AFTER 2 OR 3 TANKS OF HIGH OCTANE GAS smoothed mine out considerably as well, do the fuse pull overnight once all the regular is out of it.

Here's the link!

WHOOHOOOOO!

Look up the specs for the LS3 engine. If you know what you are looking at it will all make sense. Yes it should shake a little. It's called valve overlap.

SleepWarz · 06-02-2011, 04:34 PM

I love the slight shake, rocks me to sleep when I gotta pass out in the car.

L36L72LS3 · 06-02-2011, 07:50 PM

We ain't talkin about setbelts here! Good answer MikeL. Overlap and duration should be my middle name.

Grandeos · 06-02-2011, 07:59 PM

Mine does the same, and I LOVE IT. Makes me feel like there is a raging beast in front of me that I have to work into submission!!!

Thanks y'all - It does shake when warmed up, and the idle goes at about 500 RPM's. I guess I don't have anything to worry about. And, heck yeah, I've already revved it up. Love the power. Much better than my '85 IROC!

I like it too...

It caught me by surprise at a stop light the first time I noticed it though. I thought it was dying at first. I figure I didn't notice it during the test drive because the salesman wouldn't stop talking! Kidding James, kidding....

If it's an LS3 then yes. Not sure about the L99's but I know the slightly aggressive cam in the LS3 will give it a little shake.

PQ · 06-03-2011, 10:40 AM

Mine sounds like it's got a mild cam in it. But it doesn't.
