Cammin how much did the guys charge to install cam (or whatever all you had intalled) and how long did it take them? What kinda cam did you put in? Just wondering I'm in marietta.

Well I had it done in Columbus Ga.... I dropped my truck off at 6:00 friday and it was ready around 5:30 saturday..... Runs great... no noises from the valvetrain.... belt is squeaking but that is not related to the cam swap...

It will cost around 450$ to have it installed.... you can contact "cgworth" to get a full price... He is a member here.....

I had a Comp 212-218-522-529-114, LS6 springs, Manley Pushrods..

They did excellent work... Sealed everything up... nothings different mechanical wise..

Now the cam is awesome... pulls really hard from about 3500 to 6000... cant wait to get back to the dyno....

The dyno is in marietta.... www.dynolab.net

As for the belt, go to the dealership and get a whole new assembly. It's like $35.00. BTW, I'm talking about the A/C tensioner, it's all one piece. That's what went out on my truck.

Did the cam help out your gas mileage at all? Did it change up your exhaust ?

I ran straight pipes instead of the Flowmaster 40 series i had on there..

Right now it seems the gas milege is about the same... really no help or harm done there... Ill keep an eyes out on it and see what happens
