LE1 cam is in! Idle video

I recently did a cam swap and put a LE1 cam in there. It all went very smooth and was easier then I thought.

New stuff:

LE1.2 cam
pro magnum 7/16 NSA 1.6 roller rockers
ARP 7/16 rocker studs
Trickflow Guideplates
Thunder racing chromeoly pushrods
pac1218 springs
GMPP ED timing set
New AC Delco opti
Accel 9000 wires
Halo spark plugs

Tune by pcmforless.

Well done. What is the LE1.2 cam, basically a LE1 cam with a little more aggressiveness?

Nope, not much but there is. I think it´s more older muscle like pre-1980s then newer like 1990 and on.. Atleast that is what you see the most on the roads in the summer

Hey, Glad to see you got it all together with no problems! Good luck with it.

One thing I noticed, your probably going to be giving up a little power with the Edelbrok shorties and Flowmaster cat-back.

There was a guy who just did a back-to-back dyno run with a car with a Flowmaster cat-back and picked up like 15+RWHP uncapping his cutout. I put a 3" cutout on mine, and havent thought twice about it. I mean, its loud as hell, but its not my everyday car, I havent gotten pulled over for it, and it sounds devastating, so its something you might wanna consider.

How's it seem to drive? You happy with it? Gonna get it dynoed anytime soon? Ill be doing mine in the spring once I start driving it again.

Yup, I wasn't happy with those mids on my car.
Switching to Hooker LTs really woke the car up.

Never been a fan of the flowmster either.
You can use a cutout if you want to keep the sound, but there are many
better flowing catbacks out there (or go with a custom dual setup).

Forgive my ignorance, but what are emmisions laws like in Stockholm?

Thx for the help during the swap dude!

Yeah I have been thinking about ditching the edelbrocks for a while but I must keep my cat for emissions, dont know if its possible to keep stock cat when switching to pacesetter LT and ORY? Hmm maybe weld in 2 cats on the Y-pipe..

Love the sound of flowmaster so I have been thinking about getting a cutout instead of getting another catback, but WOW 15rwhp is crazy..

Haven´t gotten to drive it yet because of weather here and salt and stuff on the roads.. But maybe this weekend if the roads are dry..

This makes me want to order some longtubes right away and I probably will.. I hear a lot that flowmaster doesent flow well but I love the sound so I will probably go with a cutout.

Hmm I think the only thing I could fail on emission is the smog test. But it should be cool with this cam. I know a guy who passed with a cc306 They dont care about headers, catbacks and stuff but if your car was originally equipped with a cat you must have a cat on your car I think. And I failed last year due to my red turn signal, must be yellow over here
