WHHAAA!!!!!!! I wished mine was as good as yours. I have yet to get mine tuned properly. But it only took 4.5 hours to do cam/ spring/ and pushrods hee hee hee! Glad you like it. I really need to get off my *** and get to work on mine, since I have a 408 rotating assembly coming.

Raise the idle rpms about 100 rpms for any values below 600. Make sure you add timing as the 99s were very low. I bet that cam added 40+ rwhp to your truck, maybe more with tuning. I gained 32 rwhp with the little LS6 cam on my 99 with no tuning.

Well, everything total ran me about $600 bucks. Then another $50 for a case of oil and some Dexcool. I got the cam and rods through my dad at wholesale. The oil pump, springs, valve seals, gaskets, main seal, front cover seal, pulley bolt and oil pump o-ring came from GMPartsDirect.

Edit: Almost forgot, I got some magnets as insurance to hold the lifters up while the cam was out!!
