low mile cam swap question
#1
new to ls1 world so i have some parts intergity questions
i was thinking of doing a cam change before i install the 5.3L and when it was pulled it had 5,000 miles on it, are the stock oil pump and timing chain still able to hold up with the abuse of a 22x duration camshaft? thinking lunati voodoo, but will definatley be doing spring/retainers change.
might as well get it out of the way before she gets transplanted what do you think?

Should be fine, with 5000 miles the motors probably well broken in by now.
Dont forget to upgrade springs and pushrods as well, they are weak points.
