Hey guys .. I have a 2001 camaro ss with 121,000 and I was thinking about doing a cam package from teaxs speed . Would this be a wise decision with that many miles on my ls1..

As long as maintenance was religiously done on the car, you should be good to go.

Living in Jersey I would say this is not your DD, so go for it. Just dont cut corners by re-using your high miled original lifters, oil pump, etc..

It is my daily driver .. I took it to a local speed shop and the owner said he would not do it with that many miles on it.. He said it can last 3 months or 3 years u never know...

I did heads/cam with 140K on my car and I beat the crap out of it. Hasn't had a single issue in 10K miles so far. Other than I blew my trans, lol.

Hum.. that gives me some hope.. I'm either going to do the cam swap or just save up for a 408 build from teaxs speed ..

I did my H/C when it hit ~100,000 miles.. That was 2500 miles ago with ~25 bottles of spray and 2 transmission later.

That awsome brother .. just hope I'm that lucky. U 100,000 plus guys are giving me hope..

guys always do the swaps with 100 000 + with no probs, just do it and forget it

But, if you have to drive it in snow and slush in the winter, the extra power will make it VERY difficult to drive.

Get a winter beater so you dont have to worry about it.

Go and do it...just be sure to change the lifters and oil pump while you are at it.

Did my H/C swap with 115k on it and 6k later, still running strong. Like Waterbug said, don't cut corners though. Go ahead and replace whatever you can while doing the swap.
