Finally got to fire "Sinister" this morning after nearly 5 years.  I took a video but my lousy old camcorder can't export the video to the PC.  So I just took the sound instead.

The actual sound file is about 20 minutes long but I condensed it down to about 45 seconds.

Its a 440 with 3" TTI H-pipe, Hooker Aero-Chamber mufflers, and an Engle 2360H cam.  The whine you hear is from the Milodon gear drive.  Its a bit louder than I was expecting. ;D

Hey Sinister that sounds awesome! I hope to make the whole experience better this all happened at something like 2AM. You know that the pissing off the neighbors thing adds to the excitement! :icon_smile_evil:

Thanks, guys!  I fired it about 9:30am yesterday (Saturday).  However, I'm sure I'll set off a few car alarms in the parking garage at work!  :icon_smile_big:  :icon_smile_big:  :icon_smile_big:

Nice.  Sounds crisp, and the gear drive isn't too objectionable either.  I'm buying a set of Indy EZ's from Dwayne this week for my '68...

Yep...Click here for the engine specs

Dwayne (fast68plymouth) was a great guy to deal with.  He gave me plenty of pointers when I purchased my Indy SR's from him.  He's definitely on my "good guys" list!
