Here are some videos and stuff of my stock 425, these were taken in the winter, I have since change some things on the car (interrior stuff etc...) I copied and paste this from another site, so I dunno if I may be talking about off-topic stuff, but it explains all the videos and I don't have to re-type it all
Once I fianlly get the miniDV camera, I am going to take some cool videos, these were taken by my digital camera in video mode (no sound)
plus the rear tires are completly bald now.... so I need to wait until i get new tires before I do much more of anything (some nice burn out videos will be coming soon though

^I coudln't tell how fast i was going when I shifted into 3rd.... the speedo was burried
and the GPS wasn't with me.... but I shifted at 4,000RPM, I could have held it out to 4,200 or so and got even more...... it is fun
This is why the tires are bald:

^was for a contest that I didn't win
(hence the short time)
Here is the sound form in the car, windows closed doing 0-85 or so. I just left it in drive, and it shifts into 3rd at 3,400RPM (when in drive) The ticking is the leaking left exhaust manifold, and the only reason why you hear the engine is because of the open element air filter, with that on, when the secondaires open, it sounds like it does int eh video. Witht he stock air clenaer, it is quiet. Also despite the high torque fo the big block, the car itself bogs from a stop, both due to the carburator needing to be rebuilt, and the gearing, you can kinda hear it bog a little in the sound clip. Besides the open element air filter and the cat. conv. that I drained the beads out of (still there though) the car is comeplty stock. Has a full tune up but that is it. With 90k miles, it runs great, but the enigne inside is kinda dirty, look in the valve covers it is sludgey, the new oil is really dirty within 3,000 miles or so.... but you really can't kill a big block Cadillac.... although you may go broke feeding it

All in all, not too bad for a 26 year old daily driver from the land of emmission-loaded, low compresson engines.... I am just holding off until I put a built up 472/500 into this car, get a nice 2.78 Posi w/ rear disc brakes from a similar year limo, and then we will be talking
