    huh? what does this mean? i watched the vid (with no audio) but didn't see any "bucking".

    and how does a cam "lobe"? is lobe a verb?

    haha,....

    Trunk = Truck.....as he pulls out of the garage and straightens out, watch his truck.....The cam lobe actually pulls the truck forward each cycle a bit. He's not giving it gas.

    haha....I used "lobe" as a verb....hahahaha.......sorry

    Had an old Malibu like that come into the Autozone parking lot a few years ago. it was fun watching him sit at the road waiting for cars to pass....his car kept wanting to creep forward on it's own.

    sorry, i couldn't see what you're talking about. and how do u you know that what you are referring to is caused by the cam? did they just swap out cams or something? maybe i'd be able to tell if i had audio. to me, it just looks like a truck pulling out of the garage and doing a burnout.

    the audio is a huge part of it. you would be able to see(err...hear) what web is talking bout.

    just after he pulls out of the garage, and he turns right (prior to the burn out), his truck is moving forward a little bit at a time.....with audio you can hear that it's the cam making the engine turn like that. I've seen it in a few cars and it's amazing to watch. The lobe of the cam is so high that it actually opens the valves a bit in the cylinder and makes the combustion series of the engine occur. The truck begins to "hop" forward ever so slightly on it's own.


    It's a fully built and blown S-10 with what looks like a 350 (common swap).

    That truck has crazy power, that engine just thoughts its weight around.

    haha, the same thing happens in my bel-air, everytime my cam resurfaces meaning does it's part of the revolution because i think it's more than one cycle to officially be a revolution, it moves forward, and because i still have drum breaks boy is it scary...i know i know i should of switched to disk a long time ago, but i just stopped investing after a while, and now that i'm getting married, it's gonna be a while...i think it was like a b-series cam that i had, wasn't too bad, but now i have an e-series, and boy does it move...not really much i can do but hold the brake pedal as hard as i want...
