    Thanks guys!
    They are 3 chamber, 17" long Flowmasters, came with the whole American Thunder system. All mandrel 2-1/2", I cut the N25 tips off at the 2-1/2" dia. mark and welded 14" of 2-1/2" pipe back on them. Kit came with two tailpipe options, N-25 & turn down.
    Yours won't sound like this without this cam & 11-1 ....:D

    I saw no good in the original N25 tips at 2-1/4", choking my 2-1/2" system, so they were modded.

    Im beginning to wonder how well my irons were "ported" yeeeeeeers ago:rolleyes:
    I had Gellner Engineering install the bigger TA valves, and do the bowl work, and port work, BUT they're a Chevy shopo_Oo_O
    Back in the early '90s I didn't know about any Buick shops, let alone any that would take the 350 Buick seriously.
    When I picked up my heads, the young guy that did them had HUGE Crane valve springs on the heads, and he machined the spring seat too deep, they used seats for aluminum heads to bring the spring back up, plus my TA rollers wouldn't clear the fat Crane springs:(
    Had I known then what I know now:rolleyes:

    Have to give TA a big thumbs up on their SP3. Big difference on starting, idling, and response with this 35 degree overlap cam. Just what it needed.:)

    How come your camera is shaking like it has a cam in it.
    Sounds nasty

    SP3 makes for easy start, mine will try to start without even giving it any gas.
