Thanks Mr Griff - I see you have an Orange C3 yourself - is that the "Orange Flame" colour? Are you in Holland?

[MrGriff1970]

@Sudo911

Yes, a 1974 in Orange Flame.......but sounds a lot different from yours. And yes, I'm in Holland, in the northern part, 40 km above Amsterdam. Near Hoorn !! Where are you in Ireland?

@MrGriff1970

Car was stock up to last year, the car didnt sound anything like that when stock. It's amazing what a set of new heads and high compression will do! ;-) I'm on the South-East cost in Ireland, near a place called Gorey. I like the light coloured interior in your car!

[MrGriff1970]

Nice one here, love the sound of your rebuild car, enjoy the ride!!

how much hp do u think?

[Sudo911]

@1983z28camaro

Desktop dyno puts it at around 380hp, so drop 10% for rwhp. Built it for low-end torque rather than hp - she is putting out about 470tq now.

@Sudo911 What kind of engine do you have with that setup? 350ci ? 383ci? 400 ci? and what kind of pistons?

nice sound btw :)

[Sudo911]

@DiamondJake01 Stock 350ci L48 with new Edelbrock E-Street 64 cc heads, a CompCams 4x4 cam. Stock pistons, and a .015 head gasket. Heads and cam made a huge difference. ;-)

[DiamondJake01]

@Sudo911 Heh thx for the info man :)

I'm trying to find an approximation of what my 350 will sound like, i got the 64CC heads also (milled for higher compression), with comp cam Magnum 280H with lifters, rockers and pushrods. Can't wait to start it up :)

[Sudo911]

Yup, sounds a hell of a lot better now! :)
