Cammed 5.3

Here it is with the exhaust on, pulls to 7000 so far with no comp[laint adn feels like it could pull higher, eeds a much larger converter, butnow i need to install suspension and do body work and paint, the exhaust is the budget thread headers, 3 inch ti a 3 inch Y, 3 inch single bullet and dumped at the axle, click to watch:

Thanks, the recording doesnt do it justice, it sounds awesome for a 5.3, the exhaust is a start though, just time and money! LOL

Re: Cammed 5.3

Thanks Trans.

They were worth it, but the issue i have unfortunatly found is they didnt list any more on Ebay lately, so be patient if you want them, they might be on there now but i looked the other day for a friend with no luck.
