1) Do You really need a new gasket set when doing a cam swap???



I have a 2003 Silverado SS.. The cam is Comp 218-222-560-565-113+3

2) Can I Drive this on the stock tune for less than 5 miles to get my Torque Converter and other stuff installed.

 

This is my buddies

 

?? any body know????

 

I bought all new gaskets, but I didnt even use them.

 

I bought all new gaskets too from thunder racing. I plan on using them. Might as well...Its $52 for the LS1 cam gasket kit I think on thunderracing.com

 

same here all I used was the bolt

I drove mine around on a 93 tune for a while, acted fine

 

i always use new gaskets just in case would be stupid to spend all of that money and have a gasket F-up and if you install the cam and then the converter man that computer is going to have one hell of a night but yeah it should work it will just take a minute for it to actually learn the idle again

 

Well its not like he will be going that far... only like 3 or so miles.... And his computer should be there by the time the converter and all that is installed...
Thanks for everyones help..
