I'm running that cam but on a 109lsa. Sounds like a beast. I should have a few pictures and some video's up here soon after I get it tuned. You should be pretty happy with it congrads!

Default Cams

Back in the day when LaZer cams were around we installed cams in the 106 range! Other cam companies said it would not work with fuel injection, Now they are all doing it..Bill Metzger was a pioneer in cam profiling unfortunately he passed away. Bullet Cams is now following his path, there are building me a custom grind for my turbo project so I will see how it goes.

Haven't changed it out yet. It doesn't even have 100 miles on the new build yet. Soon after my tune I will probably change it out. And no worries man we've got to ask questions to learn and get feedback

Lol..well they could sure try. Doubt they would succeed though. Yeah, unfort we are the biggest "GO GREEN" state in the world (not that's it's a bad thing but they are getting pretty damn ****)...along with having gay's in office that enjoy hitting on underage boy's. Wonder who that could be...

Congrats man and good luck with the build. One suggestion, I would ditch that MSD opti and just get the AC Delco stocker as they are more reliable and will save you quite a few bucks. Just my 2 cents.

the day i can find a place to start working on it. imma need about a week with taking it apart, having the heads cleaned up and taken down .030" and then assembling it. i cant do it at my shop becuase were using the bay area alot. im going to see if theirs a self storage area somewhere close that i can do the work on and not have to worry about having it get broken into
