Will this Cam work with a stock 99 heads setup? I have the option of getting a 224/228 .567/.561 Comp cam and wondering if I can install this without having to change my springs, retainers, rods, etc???
I have a 99 Trans Am and currently 68,000 miles.
Do you think it would work and hold for another year maybe two if I use that cam until I get new heads?
Thanks

Re: Will this Cam work with a stock 99 heads setup? Thanks, what I was thinking.
How much trouble is it installing the springs, rods, etc?? I was looking at ls1howto and the cam part seems ok to install however not sure on the springs.
Anyone done it themselves that's not 100% mechinical inclined

Re: Will this Cam work with a stock 99 heads setup? many people have done it.... including me and i am not by an means very mechanical, although i felt like a mechanic afterwards 
Just dont be in a hurry, take it slow, and have back up parts. thats the best advice i can give you. You should have no problem.

On the flip side, my good friend got the 224/226-.563"/.566-114 XER because he's got the TNT 150
kit. He made 402rwhp/ 398.6 rwtq- that was on a freshened up motor with all the bolt-ons.
I would like to see a 228/228-.588"/.588"-112 installed 2 advanced. I think this would be kickass on stockheads (as long as PVC was ok). I think there's another 6-8rwhp in there.
