That thing sounds AMAZING! :thumbsup:

[Bowtieracing]

Wow is that sound with headers only? Sounds quite lopey on idle ? Is the cam "torquer" ?

[Rybar]

Now that is what I'm talking about :hail: Your car sounds sick Scott :thumbsup: Congrats on the fireup! :yes:

[mazspeed]

Congrats Scott. I cannot wait to see the video's of you driving it. :thumbsup:

I have a torquer and it's not as lopey, he probably still needs to tune for it.

Congrats on that huge step forward!

[jannes_z-28]

Congratulations :thumbsup:

Great progress, soon you will be driving it.

Great sound.

Great! I have been planning same cam in a future and i prefer more "sleeper" idle.

How do you feel it performs over stock? Is there big difference ?

[70gotboost]

Awesome Scott... I can see the gleam in your eye from here!!!

[Jay Hilliard]

major congrats on the initial fire up. Sounds great!

[rich-allen]

That car sounds SICK!

Scott what did you end up doing on exhuast?

[XcYZ]

Thanks guys, I'm stoked to get to this step.

Travis, I bought a set of Spintech mufflers. I'll be putting the exhaust in it next week, so I'll see what it sounds like.

[Steve68]

Nice!! sounds good, what are the cam specs?, one day I'll get as far as you guys :lol:

[Payton King]

since the power tour. Congrats on firing it up. Sounds fantastic. I cannot believe you did not take it around the block.

[XcYZ]

I cannot believe you did not take it around the block.

I would have, but I don't have a driveshaft yet. It's on the way, should be here sometime next week. For the time being, I zipped tied the slip yoke in the trans so I could start it.

[jimhamptons]

Awesome Scott!

[AAW]

Woo-Hoo!!!
:theresa: :theresa: :theresa:

(see? the cheerleader smiley does come in handy. I told ya it would!)

[awr68]

Yeah!!!!! That a boy!!!!! I had to play it a couple times!! :) Is it only audio? I only get a green screen...

[Garage Dog 65]

Sounds wicked Scott - don't you just hate to put the exhaust on that monster sound - wow !!

Hey, you were way to cool when it fired over - no jumping up and down, no fist pumps in the air, no yelling F Yeah - just quiet as a surgeon... we all know you were bout to bust man ! :thumbsup: Congrats !!!

[mdprovee]

Congrats Scott, I know that is a big milestone to reach!

[Autokraft]

:hail: Sounds real good there Scott:thumbsup:

[Musclerodz]

Always nice to hear another one start up. It is the ultimate sign the project end is near.

[rockdogz]

Scott, that rocks! That LS7 just jumps to life and starts growling, eh?

[CHAZMO1986]

Scott, That Is Bad To The Bone Sounding, Great Work, And What A Beautiful Car.

[JamesJ]

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[907rs]

Cool beans, Scott. It sounds awesome! :thumbsup:

So the plan is to get it all together and tuned, then blow it apart and ship it to Kurt for body/paint?

[Stuart Adams]

Sounds fantastic. :thumbsup:

[69Nova]

Nasty. Cant wait to hear it with exhaust.

[olds87]

Nice man:thumbsup:

[tndude]

Congrats Scott. You must be stoked. I know you have been working hard for a loooong time now. It sounds great!

I must say the first thing it reminded me of with the mean thump sound it makes is the Van Halen song with the drum solo in the beginning - I think its "Hot for Teacher"?? :yes:

Very Nice::cheers:

[MODO Innovations]

That is awesome. Killer sound :drool:

Congrats on this milestone.:thumbsup:

[J2SpeedandCustom]

That sounds bad a$$! Can't wait to hear it at full rip. :thumbsup:

[XcYZ]

Thanks guys. :)

Tony, I need to button up some odds and ends like brake lines, subframe connector brackets, etc, and then I can get rolling on getting the subframe painted. :thumbsup:

Is that Beale St. Memphis TN?

[JamesJ]

The start of Power Tour 08

[rich-allen]

Hey Scott, How long did your motor sit prior to firing it up?

Did you spin the oil pump or is that possible with the LS7?
Just curious because mine is coming from the builder in a couple weeks and i want to make sure of the sequence prior to firing it up.

Thanks,

Rich

[XcYZ]

It was run late last fall, sometime before Christmas. I filled the dry sump tank and ran the starter a few times for a total of somewhere around 60 seconds to at least prime it some - so it showed oil on the top end when I looked inside the cap on the valve cover. When I fired it up, it had oil pressure instantly. I ran it for about 5 seconds, then shut it off, took it off the jackstands, then rolled it outside and fired it up again, and that's where I took the video that I posted. :)

[pushrod243]

Congrats Scott sounds grrrreat:hail:

[tndude]

The start of Power Tour 08

Wooot! I missed it this year. Has a date been set yet?

[trapin]

Yeah, it sounded OK.

I'm curious though.......how do I get these goosebumps on my arms to go away?

[XcYZ]

Got the Spintech mufflers on and I think it sounds great. The sound in this video probably isn't the best since it was in the garage, but what the hell, it's a video and it's Friday. :D

http://www.lateral-g.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=424

[J2SpeedandCustom]

Definitely sounds mean! Have you taken it for a spin yet Scott?

[Steve Chryssos]

Sounds fantastic Scott. We just ordered a ton of oval parts from Spintech to build a system for the blue car. We went with the Pro Mod Shootout mufflers. :faint: Ear plugs anyone?

[XcYZ]

Thanks guys. :)

No, Jeff, not yet. Still waiting for the driveshaft to show up and I'm getting it ready to go to paint. I'm hoping to have it to Autokraft by the end of the month.

:woot:

[novanutcase]

DAMN!!!! I hope mine sounds as good as that on startup!!!:hail:

John

[Rybar]

That thing sounds insane! :hail: It sounds like open headers, not through mufflers. Love it Scott, how about you post a video update every Friday for us? :unibrow:

[Speedster]

Scott -
Those mufflers sounds absolutely awesome. What, no 7,000 rpm revs on the jackstands ? Ha... Question: When you rev those up, they don't get that "spitty" sound like Flowmasters do, do they?
-Bruce

P.S. Sorry I haven't been super-active here lately. The business has been expanding at a very rapid rate and I broke my arm really bad about 2 months ago. :beathorse

[XcYZ]

Hey Bruce, I wondered what you've been up to. Sorry to hear about your arm. Hopefully you're well on your way to recovery.

The mufflers have that Flowmaster thump but they don't have that Flowmaster ring or tinny note to them. I'm really happy with them, but I'll have a better opinion once it's under full load at 7k rpm. :unibrow:

[tndude]

Absolutely awesome! That does it….I’ve got to do an LS7 in the Chevelle.:thumbsup:

Cool Stuff Scott. Well, all is not lost down here. Look for the black Bud Select boat in this You Tube video. Another toy done down here and this was it's very first race. It just tore up the course. Twin PSI blown big blocks tuned to 1500hp each at 5500-6000. Can be run as high as 7500 with associated boost/hp increase but shortened lifespan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B8Kyqdt828&mode=related&search=

[70TWO NOVA]

Congrats! I can only imagine how it feels to get to that step.:willy:

[olds87]

That just SICK man. :D
