Gotdamn that sounds nice!! You should get an idle video up! I know you probably get this a lot, but do we need the DOD delete to do this LS9 swap? Because I know we don't have the drop cylinder thing or whatever you call it. Think you could make a list of everything you did to do the whole LS9 swap??

Sorry to hear about your motor man, hopefully you'll be up and running again so you can post up more videos and pictures of that nasty thing. But is the LS9 choppy at all? Does it have a good lope to it? I just hear that a lot of people are interested into it because of the bang for your buck. So I got interested too, lol.

its not choppy really i like how it sounds when u add Long tubes and going through a magnaflow exhaust sounds sweet but it is priced good but when u do a cam setup of corse its up to you but ur gonna need spring push rods ect... and a lot of people are spending maybe $200 more for a different cam that does make more power but its up to u, like ur still gonna pay labor (if ur not doing it ur self) why not just put a bigger cam but see i took my bigger cam off because of the turbo its nice i recommend it if u dont like a choppy cam

See that's the thing because I'm looking for a little something with a little lope and good hp gains. I was looking at the 156-402-14 from comp that a couple members had but it seems like it lopes way to much for me. So i'll most likely end up doing the LS9 cam. Do you know what brand springs and pushrods you had??

I could never "sneak" that by. That's why I'm wondering how much cats and resonators could lower the volume without losing the sound quality.
