Good to know. I assumed they still offered stainless but looks like that ended. I did one 321 stainless system and never really liked the sound of it or the cleaning to keep it looking that way. I've since become more of a purist, and when going for a performance based exhaust, I now opt for less is more approach with a good solid aluminized 2.50" system.

Hope you find the right sound for that camshaft you chose. I'd like to hear it rumble when your done? I'm a true sucker for the sound of a vintage muscle car camshaft. And I do like the bigger cams with some compression to spark it off.

This article about Penske's '69 Camaro provides some specs on their setup. It's amazing they got 440hp with the 140 cam and cross ram setup.

That video was "real cool" Graeme.

Is that your green 69z?

I have a gardner system on my car now

Was. Finished it earlier this year and sold it back to it's original owner. Just ordered a concourse system from Gardner that will be going onto the blue car.

Sweet. I love gardner stuff but i want my
z to rip lol

If you search Aaronz28 on Youtube. You’ll hear all of their systems on my Fathom Z.
Spent way too much $$ with them on one car!

Having built 3 hi-performance small blocks in a row, I'm changing things up and want my car as close to original as possible. I have another 355 roller that I want to build a second gen car with. As soon as I find a nice roller for this motor I'll have another ripper to go with this one.

I've seen a few of your video's on youtube and enjoy all of them. I do like the sound of the 140 cam, but like those with headers and dual exhaust.

I've seen his cool vids too, I dig the one getting on the southfield freeway from outer drive.

Where are you from. If we’re close, id like to hear your cars exhausts to decide
I bought a pair of the small Xr1 but im on the fence....

I used the straight 'screw-in' studs as apposed to pinning, that make the head still look factory on my 302 with the 140 cam and comp cams roller tips rockers. Works well.

I have screw in studs/guideplates and and also amnusing the comp rollertip 1.52 rocker arms

as for mufflers - had an about face on the Borla stuff - and went with Spintech 1000xp in Stainless -

can't wait

I have Spin tech mufflers on my 69 SS350 Nova with full length headers and I get allot of drone from idle up to 35 mph when the car heats up. The exhaust system was built for the car and is beautiful but I am going to change the mufflers someday.

To add to my post above #51

I went with the magnum roller tips and gaped at true .030. On the studs I had my heads done with screw ins that look like the stock factory studs and the towers/bosses won't have to be milled this way. Personally, I'm not jamming the crap out of the engine ALL THE TIME, but when I do...I'm not worried. I have the race type studs with the guide plates put away, but I'd want to get another set of heads to not mess up my originals IF I ever use them. I run the 140 cam as well as the 30/30 with 4.10's and an M20. The M21 I was using always made the damn car rattle and shutter when I let the clutch out. I'm talking shake here.
