Hi everyone! I'm kind of new to this site and just looking for some tips and advice from some experienced folks. I have a 02 chevy 2500hd (98,000 miles) with the 8.1 and a 6-speed manual. I plan to install the xr264hr comp cam in a few weeks, I have LT headers and blackbear tuning. I have been told the stock valve train would be fine to run with that cam, but would like some other opinions from people who have played with these engines. Figure on getting a new timing set since I'm already there. Not sure if just installing a cam is a good idea. Thanks for the help.

 

I wish if I had that much of cubes under my hood lol these engines from my reading doesn't have a lot of aftermarket. But, there's a website you might want to check it out Vortec 8100 8.1L Chevy GM Performance Parts - 496MAG / 496MAG HO Marine Performance Parts - Raylar Engineering it has many choices will suit your needs and the power you are looking after
