LS1 is running-update
Well finally got to start the ls1 tonight ,final piece came in the mail.Pcm from jesse at wait4me came in saturday and worked perfect,it cranked 2 times and fired right up. I have to finish the p/s and tensioner and hook up my cold air tube.Well i kept pretty close to my budget,i tried to build it for $1500 but im at $1800,but still for a brand new block and most of the parts are new with a few 2004 c5 parts with 2500 miles on them from my brother .I cant beat it for what i have into it.Im gone to take and paint the intake and accessorys in the car color,electronblue ion a few weeks after i work all the bugs out.Also i used my hooker sidepipes and cut off the flanges and welded on ls1 flanges to it,changed the spacing around and got them to fit.They sound better then in the video.

Ha good man you not only started it but you posted a video! We all know it would sound a heck of a lot better in person. The little camcorder speakers never record the exhaust tones correctly. Then the louder you rev it the more the speakers cut out.
The camcorder would also pick up the sound better if you were back further so its not picking up engine sounds. I learned this when I posted my exhaust video last week. Cant wait to see more pics of that blue.Adam_______Offical Car Name "ILLUSION"

A walk around while it is recording will tell you exactly where the "sweet" spot is for the camcorder. I am even surprised how well it sounds when placed inside the car on a tripod. Sometimes it sounds better that way for some strange reason. I will be doing a walk around of my car very very soon since my exhaust is done now.

Sounds great. That's a real nice addition to an already kickass ride. Let's meet up this season.
