5.3 LSx Turbo Fairmont 2-3 Pull with High Quality Underhood Sound!!!
Ok, I have been getting some complaints about the sound quality. So, I put the mic under the hood right by the turbo. I think it came about pretty good and certainly captured that turbo at full spool....this is still on 13 psi. I really cannot imagine this car on 20. It is insane.

How to Install a Comp Cam in a 5.3L LM7 Part 2
I show you the basics of installing a cam in a 5.3L (LS1 type engine). The cam I install is a new Comp Cam part #54-455-11 with 215/223 Duration and .604/.610 Lift on a 112 LSA.
To go along with the install I put in new 7.4" Hardened Chomoley Pushrods and Comp 918 Valve Spring good for .625 lift.

DIRTY, BUT SHE'S ON THE ROAD!! Been driving her around for about a month now making sure to work out any issues. So far there havent really been any. Im just focused on building a rear end for it now. I got to get that open diff 2.41 gear out of there!
This build so far has been under $2,000 bucks! I need to recalculate with some precision, but that's what I honestly believe I have in this build including purchasing the truck, engine, trans and drop kit BUT of course not counting my labor :) All I can say is patience, it took me probably a year gathering deals to build this.

"Y-Gen 3rd Gen" Pontiac Trans Am V8TV
http://www.v8tvshow.com/forum - 16 year old kids are in a tough spot these days. We're not talking about the pressures of daily life and all that B.S.; we're referring to the fact that the kids who are into cool cars usually don't have the cash or the ability to get their mitts on a cool ride. Add to that un-sympathetic parents, and you've got millions of high schoolers rollin' beat up civics or other cheap junk. Dale Schwartz has a leg up, however, with his new project they're calling the Y-Gen 3rd-Gen. It's a Trans Am that's a full 7 years older than Dale, but he was able to build a car he wanted the way he wanted.
