hello all, im about to order the cam package from nelson performance- kit consist of headers, y pipe, cam, springs, and tune. I am going to install everything EXCEPT the cam myself, thats where im gonna call on my very experienced ls/ vette mechanic ( same guy that did the cam in my c6 z06) can someone tell me the approximate time i can expect a cam and spring job to take him on a nnbs 08 5.3???? thanks in advanced

 

8.5-9 hours

 

what size cam you gonna do

 

im not sure exactly what cam im gonna do, i want a lumpy idle but most importantly i want more power ( i just got out of 2 fast lightnings and 2 srt10s so i wanna make this little chevy feel decent) I know it will never be a freak but if i can add another 100rwhp w/ that kit from nelson ill be happy. i have my c6 z to go reeeaaallllllly fast 670rwhp.

 

wow 100 rwhp!!! i hope i get that from mine when i do it in a couple weeks! you'll wanna do a stall too though

 

yah 100rwhp seemed high to me but from what i hear nelson performance is a pretty reputable guy and on there site they have it posted in there news section as 100rwhp gain. check it out!!!!!!

 

yeah he does great work and they have AMAZING customer service!!!!

 

id say i've added close to 75-100 rwhp with my setup now. I need to dyno it

 

if its an experience person doing the swap, then 3-4hrs MAX....

 

3-4 hours?? wow thats awesome!!!
