Default Cam swap DONE!!!
Well, here's some pics of my cam swap in my 2000 Z28. It took all day Saturday to finish, but wow, it sounds amazing. The car runs surprisingly well for a stock tune. Stays running all on her own, lol. The cam is a Torquer V2 232/234 .595"/.598" 112 LSA and of course springs and hardened pushrods.

Ok, here's the video of the first start up, remember, its a stock tune. I'm surprised it stayed running, lol. Its got long tubes, ory and LM1, so its REALLY loud

I would like to thank Sean at Top Gear Motorsports in Mesa, Az for his help...well, I helped him, lol.
