If you want to click on the Facebook link on the bottom of this post and go to the video section, there are short idling videos of a RAIV Trans Am, my 80 T/A that uses a 259 duration cam with 108 LSA mentioned previously and my 74 red Firebird with a 275/283 108 LSA mentioned previously you.
Also there are several videos of them at the track but unfortunately the noise from the race cars drown out the sound of our cars in most of the videos. If you search on YouTube under "pkmusclemotors" there are a couple of good Go-Pro videos of my brothers 70 Firebird using a 455 with RAIV heads and mid 270 duration cam ground on a 106 LSA. The video that he races a 64 GTO has some pretty good sound from inside the car.

I just watched the videos on YouTube and the one titled "1970 Firebird Formula runs mid 10 second quarter mile @ 128 mph in car view " is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when extra effort is applied to keep your car comfortable and you are not worried about adding a few extra pounds to keep your Pontiac a true "street car"!
