Idle with Isky 270 Mega Hydraulic cam

Now that everything is set up properly, the idle sounds much better.

Specs: Goodwrench 350 w/ isky 270 mega single pattern (.465/,465 221/221 108 LSA), Trickflow 195 heads, Edelbrock Victor-E intake, w/ a custom tuned 98 vortec PCM providing the control.

yes it still dounds great!

@mschiffel1 It did sound nice with this cam. Made great top end power, too. The only down side to it was that it only got 12 MPG around town due to all the overlap. I dont have it anymore. One day, one of the lifters came apart. Driving down the road, and it went down a cylinder, and started making an obnoxious hammering noise, and that was that. Had to rebuild the engine. Has a small roller now. Makes almost as much power, and gets good economy, but the idle just sounds like a stock V8.

nice floor jack and drive on ramp! WTF?

@mschiffel1 Since its a video showing the sound of the IDLE, I put the camera at the rear of the car where the exhaust exits. I thought it might be a little more interesting hearing it idle rather than just watching the engine. I dont have long tubes with dumps like a lot of people do, so the exhaust is quiet, and inaudable up by the engine.

is this the standard grind with a 108 lsa?

@foreverachevyguy Its the standard 108 LSA.

@Angelus3001 its an 88 camaro sports coupe. Originally came with a TBI'd L03. It now has a 350 with sequential fuel injection.

what car is this cam in

@badmr303 ,

It works pretty well. Makes power from ~2000 RPM - 5800 RPM with my trickflow 195s. If there is one thing I would have done differently, it would be use different lifters like the GMPP ones. The isky anti pump-ups that it came with are a bit noisy, and tend to clatter at certain speeds. With proper springs, valve float shouldn't be an issue, anyway. So, theyre not really needed in a mild street/strip application.
