God!
This is easily the most BADA$$ sounding car I have ever heard!
How do I make my car sound like that?!?!?

BTW: Sorry for the htread hijack

Amen brother...I want mine to sound like that tooo....ahhhhhh

if you want top end the trick flow stage one is great! can't beat the price either/ $140.

but if you don't mind the extra bucks a custom FTI cam might give you that extra little bit. I'm just going by what i've heard about the custom cams.

judge for yourself. here's my dyno with the stage 1 cam.

How do you plan to tune it? If you stick a moderate to wild cam in there you WILL have idle issues, especially in a cam designed for high RPM (due to duration and overlap).

Mootang, did you have these idle issues?

I think my car sounds a lot like that with the h-pipe off...

i turned the idle up and it idles fine once it warms up. I'm thinking about getting a tune real soon since i plan on keeping this engine setup for a long time.
