Thank you very much for watching little by little ... plus my goal is also to circle back to the transam once this car is sorted out
The right cam and exhaust always changes the game.

She sounds good
Omg so fun to drive. ..
Well gosh darn that exhaust sounds pretty darn awesome. 🎶 That bump in the road looked teeth rattling. 😬
Lol lol you noticed that it took me by surprise also .... well it goes to show you how well the headers fit that it did not scrap lol
I liked your smile ! You are living it !
Sick bro sounds hella good and prob a fun car to rip around in every once in a while
thx for watching yes fun car to mess around

Awesome brother! Nothing makes ya smile like horsepower! Cheers from northern Ontario Canada!
Yes love the sound of these older v8's thank you for watching
Im in Vegas.I talked to you about a year ago, looks like the green machine is kicking ass!! Awesome. 👌
thank you .... green machine is down spun a main bearing with all the fun i was having lol rebuilding an engine know for spring
Awesome vid...
Just picked up a 95 six speed lt1 , very cheap. Runs good, now looking forward to do cam, springs and long tubes
go for it .. cam swap really wakes up these lt1's
and thank you for watching
Sounds like a stock car racer. Very cool! I love the LT1. That's a great engine.
thank you for watching subbed to your channel cant wait to see what you do with that old jeep plus your vette is looks great
@@maldo72 My pleasure and thank you!! Yeah, I can't wait to get the ol' Jeep running again. It's fun to drive and gets a lot of attention lol
@@RestorationObsession yes definitely hit me up on Instagram should put you in contact with #steinjager (there the ones who did my rear lower control arms ) and they make high quality killer stuff for your keep suspension to bring it into the 21 century lol maldo72youtube Instagram
Makes me miss my old LS1 Trans Am. 😭
Peace and blessings to you brother! Where at in Jersey are you? I’m currently having my 94 z28 rebuilt and I’m soooo anxious to get it back.
middlesex county
car sounds great. i actually ordered a head mount holder to take a driving video of mine since i finally have a working cluster. did a few other goodies over the weekend too.
Dont bother with a head unit I always hit my head while in car they sell a mouthpiece so you can hold the camera that's what I used
@@maldo72 now that you mention it, you're right. i already ordered it. i dont see any mouth pieces for phones. i dont have a go pro.
ill at least try. im only 5'7. i can slouch a little if i need lol. worst case i think i can buy a go pro mouth piece and use pieces from both to make a mouth piece phone holder.
Sounds like a proper hot rod my man
thank you ......
Sounds badass !
thanks for watching still don't have the new motor in lol lol
Makes me miss my 96 z28 sounds good and with the cam I know she's running now
thanks for watching ... yes love these older cars fun to drive,,,
Got the same cam in today finishing buttoning it all up hope she sounds as good as yours!!!!
I hope so too!
Love the excitement at the end. Sweet ride!
lol yes was super happy to get out and play then it snows lol ...... thanks for watching
Love it! sounds awesome. I own a 95 z28 and have being thinking about exhaust? Hmmmmm
Sounds awesome bro, can't wait to get my Trans Am finished up!! Glad to get an update and some great sound clips!! Have you had the Pcmforless tune done yet??
no not yet and thank you for watching ..... that's going to be another video series I might go with hp tuners data log from a dyno and either have them tune from that
Sounds good. Can't wait to cam my 97 z28 and put lt headers on it.
go for it nothing like the sound of long tube headers
Lt1 Getting Down!
thx for watching
Damn, that is one of the best sounding LT-1 F-body's I've heard! Going to look into that Comp Cam XR282HR, just wants to rev
Thank you for watching
@@maldo72 Hey I would really like to do this to my 9c1 Caprice. It's pretty much stock except for the super 44 flowmeters. Love the way the cam makes it sound and wakes it up. All you did was just swap out cams? Did it have to get tuned or anything else after you got it back together?
Sounds amazing. It rips.
thank you for watching still have more work to do
What cam is this ?
hi and thank you for watching if you scroll through the channel i have the cam i used for this setup .... its a small cam manufacture... but if your looking for anther setup cheap for a regrind check out Jon from delta cam he can get you out a cam quick or he can even regrind your stock cam if you wanted to save even more money.. or email me i can forward all the details
Hell yeah brother! Sound good 👍 keep uploading videos I just purchased a 95 firebird formula 6-speed hopefully I start posting videos on it
subbed to your channel know get some videos up lol
Sounds great!
thank you for watching click the bell for more updates on this project
Sounds really good looks like it runs really good too
thanks for watching yes runs good but needs a good dyno tune runs a tad rich at idle.
@@maldo72 that's not too bad at all once you get her tuned that things really gonna haul
sooo glad to see it on roads👌🏼👌🏼, did you tune it when you put your cam in it? and where’d you get the cam from ? i’m rebuilding an lt1 and wanna see if i can just drop it in my camaro and drive it
Thx check out some of my older videos have a list of all the parts I used. The car has a slight tune but needs to be retuned one dyno
Got that same exact car, did you remove the steering column linkage to install long tubes?
Yes ..
Sounds amazing brother. Hope I can get my 96 to sound like that
a cam swap and long tube headers always makes these car sound good
That car sounds freakin good!!! 😄😄😄 I got a 95 Firebird and, I'm hoping to do some upgrades to it later!!! 😄😎
thank you for watching ..
best year to have i own 2 of them
thank you for watching
Sweet car man, I have an ls1 car these days but I miss my old lt1, just didn’t want the auto anymore lol You planning to take it to the track this season?
yes hopefully
There's something visceral about the sound of these 23 degree small blocks the LS just doesn't get.
tell me about it ... Small Block Chevy's have a different firing order Them a LS that's why you can tell the difference between the two without even looking at the car ..... small block chevy's to me sound better ...
Sounds MEAN!!!
thank you for watching and supporting the channel
Awesome sound and camaro brother.
I have my motor pretty much together, I'm about to put it back in.
Hope to have it on the road in early summer at latest.
What year is your car? I'm building and restoring my 94 Pontiac Trans am with the LT1. The old LT1 is going to be upgraded after I get the BMR fully adjustable front and rear suspension and kenner. I'm also going to be building a 383 LT1 down the road.
The Camaro is 94 Transam 95
Gotta love it!!!
thank you for watching love these old 4th gen fbodys
Sounds Great love the videos
thank you for watching more to come on this car
Sounds sweet brother. I have the same wheels on my 95.
Thanks for watching
What’s the type of cam, I’m currently looking for one this week if you can help me with the brand type and part number…please and thanks
Thank you for watching. This setup used a regrind cam i referenced the specs in my other videos If your looking for a new cam Iwould definitely contact Loyd Elliot first from eliottportworks. elliottsportworks.com/lt1-cam-info/ hes been doing Heads and Cams for well over 30 years and know the lt1 platform well.. Plus he can do custom grinds to fit your needs.
Tell him i sent you...
Man it sounds amazing got a 95 z28 with some trick flows looking to get mine to sound like that
thank you for watching
Damn dude!! That sounds awesome! Where did get that SS hood?
Bought it years ago off of a wrecked ss
Man that sound
thanks for watching more to come for this car
@@maldo72 nice nice broha! Thank you! I got a 94 LTI love this things.
Where in nj are you located? Any interest in doing a cam in my 97?
Sorry to busy ...
Song from my ears 😎
lol same here if you like that check out my other car lol this will be coming back to the channel soon
czcams.com/video/SIxLCxui6Ag/video.html
sounds amazing
thank you for watching ....
So at this time, it only has cam and headers?
correct .. plus a borla exhaust
hey bro im having trouble with my 96Z :( when i start it it sounds like complete shit like Ticking or KNocking , I tried adjusting the valves which made it go away, but then came back. I do think coolant fell on the opti. But Im not sure if its that or something valvetrain related as a couple weeks ago, a RR came loose from the bolt, which was causing it to sound like shit too and misfire also. I also think I have a blown head gasket hahah. Do you think its better to just look on Offerup for a new engine or work on this one??? i was throwing off codes before this, P1371, now i seem to have developed P0300??? which means multiple misfire so i think thats why it sounds like that because of the opti.
send video to my Instagram "maldo72youtube" cant help unless i can hear it
@@maldo72 hey bro i will send it tomorrow, thanks for responding! i’m really concerned it sounds so bad
Check the distributor cap. The distributor bushing/bearing goes bad melts the area where the set screws are and throws off the timing. New optispark may be in your future.
Are those wheels off the 98-02 SS? They look bad as and man that exhaust sound is amazing! 👍👍
thank for watching and yes they off of a 99 ss
Sounds great, it's coming together, are you running the same exhaust that is on the TA?
Yes borla with the cut out open
Hey bro you never mentioned tuning after the cam swap. Is it tuned, if so with who? My 94 same green as yours just got dropped off the shop for a CC503 +1.6rr. How are you liking your cam?
the car has a slight tune when we did the headers a long time ago but yes it will need a proper tune which is coming up soon. .. love the cam perfect for what I need it for and stock heads it pulls hard past 3000 rpm but still has tons of torque down low for street driving. ... great cam
Sounds good
thank you for watching
I need to do some videos of mine if my wife will record lol
lol
What exhaust is that? That’s exactly how I want mine to sound.
1 3/4 inch header with Borla 3inch system with no cats
Nice to see nj guy, who'd you get to tune it?
Awesome👍🏼
thank you for watching ...
Sounds damn good, how much did it cost to do the cam and headers?
Thank you for watching check out one of my older videos that goes into the full cost of this budget cam swap czcams.com/video/nBHK22z37a0/video.html
Awesome vid!
Thanks for the visit
Hey the car is coming along nice I spoke with you a while back since you know these cars inside and out I was hoping u could help me out I have a 95 caprice t it came with the 4.3 but two owners ago the guy changed the motor I looked all over the block I found the numbers but I cant read them I can see gm 5.7 so I know uts the lt1 but no clue on the year of it and I'm dieing to order up the cam but I need the correct year furst any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
hit me up on Instagram maldo72youtube if you can send detailed pics of the engine .. also note your channel name
I see all of the cam specs but what other valvetrain components did you upgrade? (Please include links) also what headers do you have?
czcams.com/video/nBHK22z37a0/video.html
check out the video link it has the items i used. super cheap.
This was a budget swap and wanted to show the cheapest way to do a cam and long tube header swap ... note : I re-used all locks and retainers for the new valve springs (which you can buy new if you don't want or reuse the old components mine were in good shape ) ... depending on the condition or miles your heads you also might want to consider new valve stem seals when you change the valve springs (i did not do that because these heads were redone and only had about a 1,000 miles on them when i did the cam)
Sweet. Maybe a future video you could post a dyno session and numbers for us? I am working on getting mine back together. I am going to go ahead and spring for the torqhead so i can run the LS PCM in order to eliminate the opti and have it dyno tuned. Had engine bored .030 over and got hooker super comp long tubes amd connectors, flowmaster exhaust, Lloyd Elliott ported intake and heads and LE also put in big Manley stainless valves and heavy springs. I got the car from a buddy who couldnt pay a $1500 debt!! Its a 25th anniversary white z28 with the black t tops and tremec 6 speed. Somehow the spun the cam bearings at only 85k miles. Cant wait to drive it. I will stay in touch!
Hi and thank you f thank you for following.. I was planning a dyno /tune session but the motor took a dump because I got a little too crazy one night and spun a main bearing (i think still have not pulled the motor ) from mis- shift where the motor saw close to 8000 rpm ... (too much for a stock bottom end setup ...) ... in the process of throwing together a junk engine to get me by while a full race engine is being built ... will update as soon as i can .... thx
It sounds so healthy. What's all done to it? I just picked up a 96 with a window in the block from a bad 383 build. I'm not going for insane power, I just want something Rev-happy and healthy like this
hi and thank you for watching a good cam and header combo really wakes up these lt1's from the factory they had really small cams ... if you are looking for a good daily street engine a good stock style engine with cam and heads goes a long way without breaking the bank ... check out some of my past videos to see what i did on this low budget build ...
@@maldo72 thanks for the info man
Was this running on no tune? If so how was it?
this car had a slight tune with the stock cam setup up from before never got around to retune it for new cam ...
How hot do the floorboards get with the long pipe headers?
zero problems with heat they tuck nicely under the car
Other than the cam and header and exhaust is that all it has???
yup... valve springs rocker arms and a few special sauce items
Never liked guys calling a car her I’ve had several camaros and none of them looked like a girl
what should i call it ?
I’ve had different years camaros a 69 z28 and 88 iroc z 93 z28 94 z28 now I have a 01 ss.
She’s bad!
Put a paper bag on it. You'll never know the difference :-)
Sounds good!
thanks for watching
No problem I’ve been waiting for this snow to let up so I can take mine out. Also my heater core is out too lol
@@jarmaljackson7455 yea I had heat and when I did the cam swap I back flushed the heater core so dont know why I lost heat ... will have to look into on my day off .....
I need to try a heather core flush never done one before
@@jarmaljackson7455 take both houses off that run to heater core and put a water hose in it
I have the same exact car, even the same SS wheels. Still have the ugly tan Interior though lol. I'm thinking about dropping a cam in mine. Did you notice any drop in low end power? Any drivability issues? Just stumbled across your channel so I haven't watched any other videos yet. Just subbed and ill be checking them out.
Hi and thanks for watching ....... love the cam its a older design with slower ramp speeds on the lobes and under 600 lift (still running stock heads ) i pick this because it was cheap and it does not beat up the valve train plus I can get away with a single upgraded valve spring setup ..... it pulls hard to 6800 rpm (check out the new video i posted you can see the motor tacking out and pulling hard all the way to the top lol (and that's why i am currently redoing a motor as we speak (took out a bearing) just to get me by for the winter so i can mock up a rear turbo setup ..... but will be upgrading to a better short block mid spring.....
Nice.
Beautiful American muscle 💪 very nice

Can you tell me what other mods you have like Optispark or something else? Throttle Body? Fuel pump and Injectors? Thanks ahead of time.
alot to list .... in some of my other videos i have a break down of all the parts i added to the car ..
So I have a 95 Z28 with 97,000 original miles. How hard was it to get your headers on? And what gaskets did you use? I have some SLP loudmouth headers im going to straight pipe. Just want to know what im looking forward to.
headers were not bad to install used Mr gasket soft aluminum gaskets the best to use zero leaks and can be reused...
What are all of your mods?
are you looking for a detailed list of mods and parts used?
Do you have some kind of double din conversion?

Did your cam swap require you to tune the car?
thank you for watching .... Yes you are going to need a tune for max performance if not car will run pig rich ..... waiting for the weather to clear up to get a proper dyno tune .. but that said this car has a small tune from pcmforless.com prior when i did the headers and intake ... not ideal because the car still runs rich but its better then a stock tune would be.
You do your own tuning?
i run the data logs and send all my info to pcmforless.com for tuning
What cam is it in there
Willhoite reground camshaft swap

Am I going to need o2 extensions for my 1995? I’m putting the long tubes on but it’s gonna have to be a weekend thing since it’s a daily driver.
yes definitely need o2 extensions for long tubes
@@maldo72 I am sending the computer to be tuned but will removing the air pump/egr junk hurt anything before the tune? I already have check engine light so I’m not worried about it if it’s not causing a problem🤷🏻
@@sagemata5756 no it will not hurt anything you will just have a check engine light
until its retuned
So is it a hoite custom cam or a comp cams XE cam? I like the sound of it and am looking to get one.
from what I gathered from the spec of the cam its a comp xe cam spec clone done by hoite cut for a lt1 engine.... at first I thought it would be a little to big for a stock head and cube motor but, found that it's fantastic great low end torque plus pulls hard till 6400 rpm and never feels like its nosing over. don't want to push the stock short block passed that rpm ... super happy with it and sounds great ..... as you can see from the video driving around part was smooth and no cam surge which i was surprised about note: this car has a slight tune on it which was based off the stock cam and headers but def needs to be tuned for the cam upgrade (super rich at idle etc) .....
@@maldo72 I had a rich idle problem with my 97 z28 after a comp cam swap. I had Solomon do a performance mail order tune. All issues were solved with that tune
@@quintenbarker6620 how do you like the tune from him?
What exhaust do you have
Borla 3inch exhaust
Everyone says headers and y pipe sounds awful and really poppy is this true?
no not at all ... my car has headers and a y-pipe sounds fantastic and zero drone with the borla exhaust even with the cut-out open
I have long tubes, y pipe, and an slp loudmouth on my car and I love the sound. Mines on the stock cam though.
Do you still have the cats or no?
No cats
What cam you running
thanks for watching check out the video on the cam I am running czcams.com/video/zdwhWqYpfNk/video.html
Did you do any chip work or just the cam? #exitfour
IT HAS A SLIGHT TUNE BUT WILL HAVE TO RETUNED ON THE DYNO
How are those headers holdin up?
Fantastic zero problems fit was spot on I will be going over them in upcoming videos as the build goes on.... from what I can tell it looks like the same manufacturer makes them sold through retailers... Hard to find them in stock .... also look out they make a couple of versions of the same header on eBay 1) just the headers by themselves with no y pipe 2) headers with y-pipe if you can find them.. .... *_ what to look out for_* they make the same header one has fully welded all the way around the primary's which mine are and the other where it only has spot welds if you buy look closely at the pictures to see the difference...
@@maldo72 I have a 94 camaro z28 lt1, but it’s t5 swapped. I wanted to do long tubes on it but not sure if I can due to the t5 slave
