YouTube- Cammed LT1?

It's a friends Camaro. He bought it like this, and it has stock exaust manifold, but flowmasters.. Mine is like that, stock exhaust manifold, but with flowmasters, but sounds NOTHING like this.

Is this cammed?

I don't know why anybody would bother running a cam and stock exhaust manifolds but at idle it does sound a little lumpy. It's not enough for me to say yes it does though. Maybe I'll go shoot a video of mine later.

Agreed. Doesn't sound cammed to me. Not enough lope to it. If it is cammed, then it's pretty damn mild.

Im going to say stock as well. If I go to the rear of my car, its sounds like its cammed, but its not. From the front it sounds like a stock motor. if that makes sense.

Stock sounding to me. My car had a stock cam and sounded similar.

But mine sounds nothing like this, unless the B-Body cams are so radically different?

Notice the completely different tune. I also have flowmasters and stock manifold..

But what is making them sound different? I don't understand that kind of thing.. The heads themselves? I know the heads are different on an F-Body and B-Body..

Stock cam. Most likely he has no cat or the cat is gutted which would make it a lot louder too.

I agree stock cam FWIW. Even a hotcam is noticeable at idle

I only just found out this after posting what I said. Now I know why mine sounds so drastically different.

Yes, it's me.. I had no sleep whatsoever when I shot that video, and actually went to sleep right after filming it.
