i wasn't to sure were to post this.
is there a way to get that big block musel car sound out of a 5.7L 350 tpi?

any cam/exhaust combo's recomended?
but i dont want the fuel economy to suffer greatly

hmmm maybe get higher compression pistons and a cam. other than that, i think your **** out of luck if you dont have a big block.

 

10.5to 1 comp and solid lifters should help

 

get a big ****in cam with straight pipes and you'll be a little closer. but the only way to get the sound of cubic inches is to.... well, get them.

 

turbos wont help eh?, anyways

 

like this:
but how much would the LT4 Hot Cam and Edelbrock Heads effect the gas mileage?

this ones one of my fav

 

Meh that's not a big block, that's a 218/228 cammed small block that sounds like it's running straight pipes

Your MPG is going to depend on how you drive. If you drive the same, it won't change more than 1-2 mpg.

 

i know its not a BB, i said i like the sound of it, it sounds kinda simmilar

 

Get rid of your single exhaust. Dual exhaust with a crossover will ALWAYS sound best. Keep the pipe length short and run little to no pipe after the mufflers.

 

eww...that sounds horrible at idle...

 

now this is big block my 70 chevelle ss 454

i agree.. go true duals with some kind of single chambered muffler like a spintech or single chambered flowmaster. or go dynomax bullet or chambered tube muffler like sweet thunder or such.

dumps after the mufflers...that will get u a deep bassy idle like those big block cars

higher compression and big duration cam will help also. gas mileage will suffer some.. stock L98's are like 18 mpg daily driving with abit of spirit. thats where mine is. highway its more like 23-24. a good heads cammed combo should make 13-15mpg. not bad but not great either. good tuned combos will do 15-17 daily driving.

heres evilcartmens car

forget the specs but its a 294 advertised duration cam... its got a mean racey idle

i have heard 87 TA's car. it has a built 406 with miniram and big solid roller cam. on 150shot it has gone 10.09 at 132. it has a nice deep tone to it.

 

is Cartman running with a TPI or a carb?

I'll try to get a quick vid of my car today

 

his is carbed.. hopefully he'll chime in.. his car was running low low 12's and should be 11's this year with his new exhaust.. true duals 3 inch all out

 

would a car with the same specs but with TPI sound the same??????

 

IMHO carbs sounds lightyears better then FI, hands down. Carbs lend themselves more to the rumble, and I associate that with larger cubes. I've heard decently large engines with good exhaust, and they sound too smooth, like a engine. Not my flavor.

 

lol i kinda fidgured that. anyways, I wont be able to get a vid of my car online my camera's to old, my comp wont read it lol
