Looking to get that cam. I believe high idle cold start is with AIR pump on , supplying more O2 to heat up the cats. Maybe you learnt this already. LOVE the chop. Like a full race cam from my youth in the 60’s
Higher idle at start up is to get the mechanical oil pump to lube everything up because cold starts are rough on internals being oil has dripped back down to pan over time being off. You want a high idle at start up. Its put into the tune on purpose. Factory cars do it also just not as noticeable because the cams on factory aren't as aggressive. Is your exhaust 2.5 or 3.0 inch? Just curious.
Everyone change to a larger pick up in the windage tray. You have two other options for more oil to top half quicker. Its a small design flaw also add flat top lifters and larger diameter feeds on your push rods key too all ls motors more oil and change the springs at the same time with aluminium rockers with larger oil valleys and the stock head will never heat up or have catastrophic failure . Do a port job on the block have it ported for more oil flow into the valleys feeds and also change location of oil vents on the motor add a oil cooler with more volume and a larger sump pan as well problem solved some thing every ls owner should be able to do minus the porting take that to a motor builder with the proper gear. And then increase your oil pump finally or the gearing for the oiling system. Its the tiny bits that will make an ls indestructible on the street or the strip and all factory with matching numbers. Most of it is even on Chevrolet parts shelves if you can find the numbers you win a factory beast built motor minus the rockers have fun.
I’m not huge on ls I’m a Small block guy but I have a 5.3 I’m gonna put together. What’s the best cam? There’s a guy selling a BTR stage 4 turbo cam comes with springs and all that. But I just feel it will be too much. If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated!
Super nice ride. Cylinder head work & Fa$t intake was not necessary at that power range. A really good tune will relieve you of all your problems. Rite now you have whats sounds like a base tune..again nice ride & I hope you enjoy the next one
With this monster twin disk it’s kinda tough but you get used to it easily. This car searches for idle when moving when it’s in neutral but that’s about it
Slim Reaper alright. I got a new ls7 clutch in mine. I don’t drive around town much but just worried about how much of a pain in the ass it will be when I do
Theres a stage 5: I bought a stage 3 btr but my yellow 🟡 Vette is automatic so I have to change the torque converter too to 3000 stall I havnt put it in yet I'm not thinking of purchasing the stage 5 and holding my btr 3 as a collectors idk well see
Earlier in the video you said it makes 440rwhp with Cam only but then at the video you mention it's got Heads? What heads are you running if I heard that last part correctly?
drewnashty yes so It does have 243 heads that are worked and flow really well. And when I got the car it was cam only, I put the intake and heads on. I meant to say 420 wheels cam only... not 440. My bad
Slim Reaper Nice, with head work and the BTR Stage 4, I can see 440 to the wheels. The C5 FRC and Z have been on my mind a lot lately as my next toy/track car. Did you get a new tune after doing the head work? I'd think the Stage 4 cam would need better aftermarket heads just to take advantage of the Stg 4 cam's valve timing events and breathing requirements. Did you piece together some valvetrain kit or just do springs and hardened pushrods?
drewnashty I had LMR do the intake and head work and a new tune. On their dyno it made 480 with the heads and the cam and the intake and other mods. Don't know how accurate it is but those are what I go off of.
2500HDjeff they are ported 243 heads. And they flow really well. Mods are BTR stage 4 cam, LME massaged 243 heads, Fast 102, LG Motorsports 1 3/4" LT's with Corsa Extreme cat back, under drive pulley, 42lb injectors, MGW Shifter, Built T56, twin disk Clutch
I have the cure for the know LS lifter ' taping'. After 60 to 100,000 miles the lifters lose there ability to hold their prime. I started using hot shot secrets nano lube additive a few years ago on my 2000 Trans am at 200,000 miles on it. After running their siction elemanator for 3,000 miles then changing my oil then adding 5oz of their nano lube. 👌. SMOOTH! no taping. That LS in my Trans am runs and pulls as STRONG as when it had 50,000 on it. Even at 211,000 miles on it. I'm setting at 365hp and 385ft. No cam yet. Try hot shot secrets oil lube. You will not be sorry. 👌
thats what im thinking it will be a few months until i do a cam swap, just looking at my options. i like the texas speed torquer v2 also. its got alot of midrange power from what ive seen.
god, gm went through that hideous steering wheel designs in the late 90's early 2000's dont even get me started on the interiors. I still love them just the same.
Yeah C4 years 84'-96' had that god awful chevy astro van, s10, silverado , express steering wheel remember chevy was proud of the Cadillac Cimarron aka cavalier, sunbird hideously built crap thank goodness times have changed for the better for the Bowtie fans
@@SlimReaper try better tuner prevatt automotive here in tulsa tuned mine fast 102 ported by mamo ls2 tb and mas. Ls3 injectors heads and cam. Check my video. My car drives flawless idles good dont Serge or search for idle. Yes it can be hard to tune if tuner isn't that good my buddy had issues with his tune and the tuner said best he could get it. Now I got his exact setup off his car and went to prevatte and perfect. I'll try to load a driving tune when stops raining.
I’m having a very lousy day @work. This definitely made me smile and improved My day!! Nice car.
Did anybody duck when he was backing out?
yeah i still got smacked lol
Nice! I'm waiting on my BTR s-3 and some other stuff to come in.I can't wait.Your car sounds great!
Love the sound of these Corvettes with BTR cams!
Wow that LS6 sounds legendary
How can anyone give this a thumbs down?
It’s his neighbors 😂😂😂
@@jhale4561 😂😂😂
Amazing sound! I think I'm sold on the BTR cam.
That back out shot was dope! Sounds amazing!
Dang that cold start part is really cool
That's what ALL vette's SHOULD sound like. That vette means business as an American supercar should! WHEW....YEAH!!!

Getting a btr stage 4 cam kit for my ls😮💨excited to hear it run
Sounds awesome! Props!!
That camera has to be only .00002” away from that exhaust lol
Damn that's really close
Good measurement
Love it sounds exactly like my 05 gto
You still have the car or no?
Yes and I got the wifey a red 06 auto

You made 140whp+ from stock numbers just with the cold intake/cam/headers/exhaust?
sounds lovely
Sounds amazing
I’m planning on getting a stage 4 cam but don’t know what to do for pushrod length and valve spring height any pointers?
How is the drivability in say 5th gear at 1000-1300 rpms?
sounds great!

Also helps to get the oil up to temp and into closed loop quicker

Bad ass sound.
Why would you change the cam but not the lifters? Did you change ur springs at least?
Hey just wondering what valve springs and pushrods. are u using stock?
F#€&!n nice great vid love cam on bumper
Fuckin badass dude. I can’t wait to get my C5 Zo6
How much are you putting down? If you dont mind me asking

My Z06 is tr/mr . Very nice car.
What value springs did you use?
SWEET!
what's your idle RPM after it's warmed up?
skyler Hawkins I believe it was at like 850 or so. It bounced all over the place with the cam.
@@SlimReaper Siiick
Did you order your cam from btr or comps cam?
How much power did it make?
Sounds awesome!!!!
Hank Gomolski thanks a lot
How is it ? I’m doing Btr stage 3
Someone asked this earlier, but what are those rims, look really good on that car!
What RPM is this car idling at?
How’s the drivability? I’m about to order one for my manual ls2 c6.
With this monster twin disk it’s kinda tough but you get used to it easily. This car searches for idle when moving when it’s in neutral but that’s about it

What mufflers are you running?
Corsa extreme
Wtw on dailying that stage 4
What stall converter u running
It’s a manual...
Ls7 c5?
LS1 lol
Sounds really good. Does the car feel like it had alot of power in the lower rpm range or mostly up top like 3500 to 4000?
hemiowner105 with a big cam you will have alot more power up top. Which is why alot of people raise the rev limiter to 6500.
im thinking about going with the btr stage 3. im m6 with 410 gears want a good amount of mid range power
With 4.10 gears with the btr 3 cam you should have no problem getting good power quickly.
thats what im thinking it will be a few months until i do a cam swap, just looking at my options. i like the texas speed torquer v2 also. its got alot of midrange power from what ive seen.
Me personally i'm going btr4 cam. Cuz they really like nitrous and that's what i'm running.
It’s corsa ? Catback

@@408SPLKINGS I agree and BMW's E65 7-Series' interior was awful.
Our 02 sensors are going bad or check your coils
Honestly could probally make more power and drive better with smaller cam with stock heads.
billy mensch the intake killed the car😪 no one could tune a fast 102. All the tuners kept saying it was hard due to the limited tables

High idles to warm up the engine

Those..
damn...
Im in Arlington
that sounds a little nasty
She was nasty! Wish I still had the car
Too much timing at idle or incorrect timing at idle
Not a fan of those wheels
To loud extremely to louuuuuud. Jesus that thing is awfully louuuuud
No it's beautifully loud
If it’s too loud you’re too old!
