Ever heard a lexus sound like a big block muscle car? come in!

Took a quick video of the first actual firing up of my lexus. Open 5" dp for now until I get it over to SP so we can finish.

Sound Performance 3.2liter stroker
GT47-80
custom crane cams (BIG) as you can hear.

We obviously need to tune a bit for the 1600cc injectors

Enjoy

That turbo is ginormous.....its freaken huge!!!!....plus car sounds awesome. Does putting cams in a car make it idle lower, cause it doesnt sound like its idling at around 600-700, more like 400ish.....just a question, i dont know much about cams.

Thank you OLT, lot's of vids to come

I actually have to tune for these huge cams still, and raise the idle up to 1k or so, it's very low right now, so good observation.

dang! thats awesome! let me know when you take it to SP for tuning!

I gotta get mine going too and my opt picking up everything this weekend and start putting it all together and then trailer it back for all the custom fab. and tuning. right now I'm fabricating gauge mounts and a cover for my shifer for the SP400.
