www.ls1howto.com and go to the F-Body Cam install

as for your rockers. Leave them alone, aftermarket cams dont like higher ratio rockers

not too tight, they are o rings so you just have to snug them down. Loctite on what ever the directions say, high temp sealer on the cam cover.

even on the stock LS6 cam, I wouldnt go with aftermarket rockers.... not unless you had a custom cam built with a certain rocker ratio in mind...
