Default Just finished my first cam!

A few months ago, I had installed XSP long-tube headers. These past two weeks I installed a 160* thermostat, Blackwing, and TSP 228r cam.

This was not my first major engine work by any means, but it was my first major work on an LS1.

I thought I would share a video of the car idling, a few minutes after first start. I am getting it tuned this week by New Era here in Rochester.

I'm planning on doing an LS6 intake and PRC heads in the spring.

I'm interested in what you get for gas mileage and if the DIC accurately reflects the calculated MPG. Which injectors?
