It's a bit more raw sounding with the cutout open. The engine is fully warmed up this time, so the idle has smoothed out in these clips.

On the long version I close the cutout, but in the video I boost up the audio so you can still hear the idle, I had to initialy turn the audio down in the camera so that it wouldn't get so fuzzy when the cutout was open.

Short version is for those of yall on a slower connection, startup, rev and a little bit of idle with the cutout open.

Cutout is a Mccord Powerplate and 3 inch Jegs cutout pipe.

nice sound but what is even nicer is your driving mocassins rockin kicks buddy

 

that does sound real nice, i love that open exhaust sound.....nice maccosins too...haha

 

Sounds good. Nice steering wheel.

 

what cam is that you have? sounds almost rough at idle.

 

Sounds good. Is that running through headers or manifolds?

 

The cam is a Melling MTC-1 cam, and I'm running Edelbrock headers

Yall like my shoes ay? lol! It's nice here in Phoenix I can wear them year round

 

whats the specs on that cam?? makes it sound mean IMO...

thats odd, only 204-214@50?

Good idle, Good low end torque and pulling power, Power range 1000-4500 RPM-Hyd.


the advertized 278 288 prolly has some to do ..

 

Spectre, I also have 1.6 ratio rockers, that boosts the lift a little bit, but not much I think.

When I was looking for what cam to go with, I wanted low-end power, noticable idle, and good milage. Apparently this is one of the few cams that fits that bill from what people told me. I asked here on TGO, as well as other forums, the MTC-1 was suggested several places.

It didn't work to well with my TPI intake though, but once I went to a carbureted setup everything is fine.

 

wow, thats impressive, i figured it had more duration than that...that sounds relatively lumpy, i can't wait till i get my XE276HR, 224/230 at .050, and .503/.510 lift...that should sound pretty mean, i'm getting really excited to get mine fired up and running...

 

Thats the cam i used to have then sold it before i got to put it in. Now i went out and bought a different one its the Performer RPM cam. Heres the specs 234/238 at .050 and .539/.548 lift 112 lobe sep and its on a 107 intake centerline. Cant wait i love hearing cams thump drool. Right now its got the comp cam 262HR and its puny. Hey dude car sounds great i give u props. Would have never guessed a melling cam would sound that good.

 

Hey klumb u have to post up a sound clip i want to hear what that cam sounds like since that was the one i was going to use.

 

alright, the motor is still out of the car, and its in the process of a complete rebuild...i should be done within 2 months....i'm sure i'll start a post right when i get her done, and i'll get a sound clip or a movie too...that performer RPM cam has some pretty aggressive specs, wow...

 

sounds good i imagine you dont run around with the cutout open too much?

here is mine

no cutout the law has this idea that its too loud in my area though it was late and high idling that night
