Honestly, I dont think it would be worth the effort. That cam isnt much bigger than your stock cam.

For all the work thats involved, I would just wait until you can afford one that will really help.

that would make no sence to go from stock to stock. if you wanted to keep the car feeling like it had a stock cam but alittle extra power the GT2-3 cam would be awsome, retains the stock idle and everything but pulls like a ls6 cam on steriods!

you wont gain a damn thing from it. i know they are bigger but only by a few degrees. if you want to upgrade your cam, try a tr224 or something, dont waste your time on something like that.

465 to 498 thats a big difference ill argue it to anyone.....as easy as a cam swap is i would do it it will be like puttin on 1.8 rockers....if the cam is free......you may not feel alot of power difference but ill bet you will e/t better at the track.....id say its worth 10rwhp......hell the ls6 is like a 20 gain over the 98-00 cammed cars.......id do it if its free the swap aint that bad at all.......you will also gain a couple degrees of duration.....
