Nice rediscovery! That's what makes so many of the older V8 engines sound better than many of the new ones . . . camshafts with some decent duration on them. Too many LS1 guys try to make all of their power with big lift and only a little more duration. I absolutely love the sound my TA makes from idle at 750 rpm with its 268 degrees of duration. (That's the advertised figure, not the duration @ 0.50 lift . . . if anyone cares, here are the specs for the camshaft I'm running: http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/Ca...csid=1171&sb=2)

Watch my BMW have a badly balanced engine and way too much vibration? Sorry, no can do.

Lope has nothing to do with "balance".

Nothing.

The engine in that video was "balanced and blueprinted" - the lope you are witnessing is purely the result of the cam shaft grind.

I should know, thats my old setup

Yep, yep, my TA's engine's bobweights are all equal to the gram.
