Here's the Hooker Aero Chambers at idle. Hydraulic roller 355ci motor at 550" lift 236/240 duration. I'll load another cruise video here in a few minutes.

Down shifts start at 00:29 and up shifts start at 1:20. This will give you a great idea of the sound on the Hookers. That's my shameless muffler plug. lol

Your car sounds great!

Two things bother me with Aerochambers, 1) my system is 409 stainless which isnt the end of the world but I was hoping to keep it all 304 or 409

And 2). I read about alot of issues with Aerochambers rattling from something inside coming loose. Do you know of any issues or has Holley solved this defect? Seems like the threads in them were a few years old.

Never had anything rattle or loosen in any of mine and have never actually heard that. I have ordered 3 pairs of them in the past 6 years or so and also have a pair on my run stand exhaust to quieten things up when running in new motors. Those one are about 10-12 years old now and are still sound great with no rattles.

They do have these in stainless as well. Had the polished stainless 3" Aero Chambers on my 55

Stainless doesn't appear to be available any longer

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.
