Default cam install tomorrow

Well I'm getting my comp cam 212/218 522/529 114 installed at Thunder Racing tomorrow. They're installing my ASP pulleys as well, so my before and after dynos won't be the cam #'s only. I'll post the results anyway though. I'm excited. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I'm just changing the springs and the pushrods with this cam. I probably could have gotten by with just the springs, but i decided i might as well get the pushrods too.

Get a converter. It will set misfire codes when idling below 700rpm. Watch out above 5,000 <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" /> ! Love mine.

Artic- I went with this cam after I did a lot of research on the boards, and most people were really happy with this one. The guys at Thunder recommended this one as well. I also already have a 2800 stall converter to get over any low end loss.

Dutch- I think I paid around 650-700 for all the parts at Thunder. I don't remember the specs on the pushrods off hand.

Jason- I dropped my truck off at Shane's last night, so he should be driving it in today.
