Well Its In!
WELL I FINALLY GOT MY CAM INSTALLED SAT. EVERYTHING WAS REALLY PRETTY SIMPLE EXCEPT THE VALVE SPRING SWAP. I BOUGHT THE TOOL FROM ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, ITS NOT THE SOLID PIECE ONE THAT EVERYONE SAID WAS PRONE TO BREAKING BOLTS OFF, IT WAS THE NEXT STEP UP! IT SUCKED *****!!! ANYWAY EVERYTHING WENT TOGETHER REALLY WELL AND WITHOUT A HITCH, EXCEPT WHEN I ABOUT CUT MY FINGER OFF WHILE TRYING TO SLIDE THE CAM IN. IT GOT STUCK ON ONE OF THE LOBES AND I FORCED IT A LITTLE AND IT SLIPPED IN AND JAMMED MY FINGER IN BETWEEN ONE OF THE LOBES AND THE BLOCK. BLOOD WENT EVERYWHERE. ANYWAY I WOULD DEFINATELY RECOMMEND THE PEN MAGNETS FOR THE LIFTERS, IT IS PRETTY MUCH FAIL SAFE. AND THEY ALSO COME IN HANDY TO PICK THE RETAINERS OUT, WHEN YOU COMPRESS THE SPRING TO KEEP FROM DROPPING THE LITTLE BASTARDS.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS; IT DIDNT WANT TO STAY RUNNING EVEN WITH THE NEW TUNE. BUT AFTER A FEW HEAT CYCLES AND DRIVING IT AROUND IT STARTED TO RUN A LOT BETTER AND WOULDNT DIE ON ME. IT PULLS SO HARD TO THE REV LIMITER 6200 OR 6300. I NEED TO GET THAT BUMPED UP TO ABOUT 6700.
NOW THAT IVE DRIVEN IT ABOUT 200 MILES IT FEELS EVEN STRONGER FIRST GEAR IS RIDICULOUS IT TAKES NO TIME TO GO THRU THE RPMS. MID RANGE AND TOP END IS DEFINATELY STRONGER ALSO. I WILL BE TAKING IT TO NELSON PERFORMANCE NEXT WEEKEND TO GET THE DYNO TUNE AND DYNO IT. SO IF ANYONE IS AROUND I WOULD DEFINATELY LIKE TO MEET UP WITH SOME OF YOU AROUND THAT AREA. ILL BE THERE FRI. THE 26TH AND SAT. THE 27TH. ILL HAVE TRACK TIMES THE NEXT WEEKEND.
WHAT ARE SOME PREDICTIONS WITH THE CAM AND THE LS1 FANS?
SORRY FOR THE NOVEL!!!
PREVIOUS BEST IS 14.96 IN 90 DEGREE WEATHER BEFORE THE CAM AND LS1 FANS.

I live in the area. There's a pretty good drag strip at Santa Clara Rd. and I-10. It's between SA and Seguin. Feel free to PM.
After Nelson you could take it to the strip...or I could go to Nelson's with you. I've been meaning to go there sometime.
