The valvesprings take the longest and are the biggest pain in the butt. For a first-timer with a strong mechanical background, I'd say start on saturday morning and you'll have it done by night...worse case scenario, you run into a few snags and have to finish it on Sunday. I did mine all by myself in a cramped garage...started Saturday afternoon and finished Sunday evening.

One word of advice, get the Crane/Vinci spring compressor, it makes swapping the springs a breeze, especially the rear ones. That's what held me up the most during the cam swap, using different style spring compressors. When I decided to swap my Comp 915's for some LS6's, I used the Crane tool and had the job done in 2 hrs, taking my time and enjoying some ice cold Buddy's

 

Cody and I did the same thing on my truck and after he figured out how to use the top dead center method we had 15 of them done in about 30 minutes. The first spring took 30 minutes in itself though.

My vote is obviously for the crane tool

 

216/224 .551 115LSA Vinci High Performance "trucker" cam

 

i wasnt saying that it couldnt be daily driven but it does have a pretty hard lope to it

the one in particular i am referring to is orlando4.8 or something like that

he had a tr224 on a 112 in a lq4 and IMO it was pretty lopey

 

so what is a nice cam that will give a nice sound at idle along with a mid torque peak...that i could get way with in a stock motor or by replacing the springs?

 

i put a 216/220 a tr 220 and a tr224 in 6.0s and i tell you this all of them had a lope i would personly get a custom grind can and be done and have the best of both wolds lope and power.

we put a 216/220 565/570 lift on a 114+2 in a crew cab and ran a 12.64 at 109are 110 don't rember the speed and that was with a trailblazer stall

 

What cam is better for a more stock 6.0 that will have bolt on parts and if i have 2 do springs...what should i do?
