It doesn't sound stock to me..sounds like there's a cam in it. Of course I've almost only heard LS1's with cam. Have yet to really here a stock ls1 idling.

haha I think he was being sarcastic, that ls1 has a nasty lope. What is the modlist?

too much cam for me.
it sounds like it wants to die and he is struggling to keep it running
does he need to get it tuned or something

I agree with no slow svt, I guess if its a race only car then thats cool but if it is a "street" car than that cam sounds a little too extreme. Sounds like it will have very little driveability.

Mods: Lid, K&N, LS6 Intake, Longtubes, ORY, Cutout, fully built Tahoe tranny, Yank 3200 stall, and cam.

Guys this cam is small (230/232 .572 .574 111 LSA) compared to the ones listed above (Trex, G5x4, etc). Right now its untuned and driveabilty is little to none, occasionally the car runs fine. Once HPP tunes it, it will be fine. This is one day after the install.

I think it sounds badass... My car with the cam seems to be alot louder though
Your car is louder because in the vids the exhaust is running through a stock muffler. When we open the cutout its at LEAST twice as loud.

Thanks for the compliments guys. :thumbsup:

Sound stock ? No.
Sound like shit ? Yes.
Sounds like someone is scared of an LS1.

LS1s can eat up a pretty big cam hell I run a the cam linked in my sig in a 5600#truck granted its in a 418CI motor but I can still roast all four tires in 4hi till 20mph. LS1s can take advantage of big cams with sotck heads they flow more than even your 4 valve cylinder heads.
