If you take your time and buy used parts you can probably do it even cheaper. Thanks... I'm pretty happy with the sound. My latest tuner had to bump up the idle a bit so you can't quite hear the cam as much, but I'm pretty happy with it.

Does your motor have the retangle ports or was there some toher way you adaped it. Thats why people think its too much trouble to swap.

It came from the factory with rectangle port heads. The swap wasn't bad... Finding somebody to tune it that's a whole nother story. I will be removing it this weekend and the whole setup will be for sale. I have been through 2 tuners now and I give up. The more I drive it the more tune issues I see and I can't stand it. I tried to post it up for sale but a mod closed the thread due to me not having enough posts. So once I do have enough posts it will be for sale.

That is really disappointing to hear.

This must just be struggles with the 2015 computer. The L96 engine has been around and tuned for quite some time now.

Will you be removing the cam as well?

That's what the tuners are telling me. If it had been a 2014 or older it would be no problem

Sorry vortec I didn't see you question about the cam... But yes I will remove the cam, headers, exhaust, etc. putting it back to stock.
