Re: Hi, im new here so i need your help
When it idels down, it sounds really good. Specially when its in gear. You can really tell its got a cam. It's hard to tell when its ideling at 1200rpms. (or where ever its at) When its down to 700 or so its awsome. I didnt want to spend the money on the cam....But I'm really glad I did. When I had it on the dyno for them to tunes it for me, They said it the best sounding 305 they have ever heard. (i know theres not too many ppl who spend the $$ on a 305) But remember you have a 350 so it will sound a little better.
I'm leaving for vacation. I get back 4-7-07. I'll try to post up a better sound clip.
Everything I did to it is in my sig. I do have shorty headers on it.
On another note, when you swap cams. Remember you need to change your springs. Also when your in there, change your valve seals. The cam does recommend an adjustable fuel pressure regulator also. When I did mine I also updated the timing chain and gears. Your lifters are fine. My pushrods were fine, but im not pushing a whole lot of HP.
I can only say good things about this cam, Like I said, I'll try to get something up after I get home from vacation. I think my car will come out of storage then also.

I have stock manifolds, 3" Y-Pipe, 3" CAT, 3" I-Pipe, Dynomax Resonator, Dynomax Muffler. My car is a convertible so I wanted a high flow exhaust that is'nt too loud. I'll be installing Hooker 2055's this Spring, and I suspect it will not be much louder with the Headers.
