Wow im really thinking about getting an X1 Cam that thing sounds amazing.:drool: |
too loud... that would be annoying to drive. especially if you live in a residential area.
|
Don't just buy a cam for it sound.

i thought X1 was for LSX motors, am i wrong?
EDIT Oh, i just noticed this now CURRENT RIDE- 99 Z28 with Ground Effects SLp intake Exhaust and Short Throw shifter- best 1/4 -13.34@105.6 |
sounds pretty nice, but look at how high that lift is. 591/571 on the street might be pushing it.

dont just buy an X1 cam. The sound of the cam is because its a 112LSA. the lower the number on LSa the stonger the sound will be. A stock LS1 on a 99 motor i believe is a 117LSa and in 2001-2002 they moved the LSA down to a 116LSA. I think alot of people would agree with me. If you want a cam you also need to get a good set of heads. Also with the sound the true duals play a big part in the sound. Dont just pick a cam out of a catolog from what you heard through your computer speakers hear it in person for yourself. Every camera has a different sound recording device. you could record that car with for example a sony and a canon video camera and the car could sound alot different. I dont know if your car is an auto or manual but just to make things easier when buying a cam if you have an auto go with a 114LSA if you have an manual go with a 112LSA. for an auto to have anything smaller than a 114LSA you need someone who can give you a really good tune.
A custom grind cam is what you want. Find someone who can custom grind you a cam to your needs. I am sure as long as your on a 112LSA with true duals you will get close to that sound. |

It does sound good. I agree with the DaSkinnyGuy. Don't buy a cam for the sound. Have a goal in mind. Some people have told me that with the cam I got now, I'm not getting all I can from the engine. They might be right, but I plan to go FI sometime in the future which is the reason why I chose the cam I have now.

So my 107 LSA is no good?

edit: i do understand that the sound of a cam isnt just based on the LSA its alos a combination of the exhaust and intake numbers and i believe the overlap. everything plays a factor in the sound. |

i have to go to bed, i just reread that post and realized how bad my grammar is. |
all my minor issues are tune related. I have no vaccuum issues though, and idle is managable. It drops sharpley sometimes upon deceleration to a point where my VDO tach actually zeros out. but it does catch it and comes back. But once again, what do u expect with a cam that size, larger injectors, ls6 heads, full exhuast, ported TB, and stock '01 LS1 tune. lol
|
I have no problems with mine, brakes fine and idles ok. But everyone tells me it sounds bad... :(
|
Cam selections based on sound is gay

Or you can just lower the idle speed , Possibly cut back on some timing that isnt needed and get more cam thump..
