427 Idle Video
I had some requests for an idle video. I shot this one a few minutes ago.
The cam is a Comp XE-R 230/242 .591/.610 115+0. I have the idle set at 950 for now. I may lower it once I start tuning. The exhaust consists of Supermaxx headers with cats and a Z06 cat back.
I have about 150 miles on it as of today. It is running great. I wanted to use a cam that is about as drivable as stock and that is what I ended up with. The car will loaf along at and pull from 1000 rpm in 6th if you want it to and have no surging or bucking. It idles in traffic with zero issues.

I have alittle over 1700 miles on it,Run's great!.I drive down to Raceway Park NJ,About 125 miles there,Dragrace,About 3 or 4 passes because I can't get out of friggin 1st round
,Drive back home and I had to add a 1/2 qt of oil.I'm not worried about that,Its still breakin in 
I've been using Shell Rotella 15-40 like SDCP said.I've changed a few times already.I'll put synthetic in at 5000mi.Let me know how your's is doing after a few thousand miles .....................Paul

Hi Paul,
I don't think that I have used any oil yet (other than what leaked out because they drilled the dipstick hole too shallow and too large in diameter). I am using one of the other oils that SDPC recommends, Valvoline NSL Racing 10w-30.
