Before and after FRPP Hot rod cams video

[808muscle]

I was browsing on youtube and found this vid. Its gotta be the best before and after video I have ever seen. Makes me want to order those cams now!!

For those of you whom have installed this cam, does yours sound the same? That is music to my ears! Simple wonderful.

Dude that is awesome. Did you install them yourself? Do they require any tuning adjustments after the initial installation? I am gonna install my LTs next weekend but after that that cams gotta be next. Yours sounds like a ten second race car......so cool!!

Yeah I installed them about 10 feet from where the video was shot. Yes a tune will be necessary my friend.

Yeah I need some long tubes as well. Those are the stock mufflers and stock exhaust manifolds. I'm running an O/R BBK x-pipe in that vid. I think it will run hard with the long tubes and it will sound tougher.

Installing the cams were fun and if you read the instructions/writeups front to back and back to front you will fly through it. Some say that the tools aren't necessary............I used them. I also bought the correct torque wrench just for the install I quadruple checked all the bolts and made sure everything was in order before I buttoned it up.

Enjoy the install...........it really is fun!

Did the torque curve change? In you opinion, does it drive the same or different when you get on it? And if so.... in what way?

I don't typically hear that much lope from the hot rod cams on any of the video's I find on youtube. Im guessing he just lowered the idle more than others?

I thought there were three different grinds. That would explain.

I thought hot rods were one grind only. I know the thumpr series has three different grinds.

What I meant was "after" the intial install and tune is there any adjusting in the future? Does it hold the loopy sound or do you have to go in there and adjust it now and then? Thanks for the tip on the special torque wrench, I had read about it. I will make sure I have everything. I hate it when stupid shit delays ya.

Roj............sounds good dude. This is defiantly my next mod. Guess I am gonna have to break down and finally buy DR's for the track. No way I am gonna hold much traction after LTs and a cam install.

As far as the sound goes…the cams are solid pieces of metal. I'm not a engineer or a monster gearhead but that really can't change. The lope is always there. They sound like a spider snapping it's fingers sometimes…or it will settle into a buncha German soldiers goosestepping down your street. It's doesn't matter it's music to my ears.

Now I had 3.55s when I installed them. It took awhile before they would come on full song…more or less 3500. The 4.10s allow them to come into play alot sooner and stay there during a run through tha gears.

I know the HotRods get a bad rap for nothing but noise makers. I really can't buy into that. There are other cams out there that folks say run HotRods under the table.…I don't know they put a smile on my face and a pull in my gut…and I did the work myself so take it how ya want.

If you get cams…don't even think about anything but 4.10s or more.

I have never heard that analogy before and am trying to understand it, LOL!
