My EPS baby cam-only on bolt-on '02 Z28 A number of you here helped me decide on a cam a couple of months ago. After research and ending with talking to Geoff at EPS, I went with his baby 222/226 113 (this is my non-racing DD). I just posted the sound/vid clips in multimedia section:

I'll post Dyno results on Monday.
Due to snow last week, I only drove it once after the street tune. But I like the way it pulls. Good SOTP response so far.
People ask if tune is necessary, esp with an M6. My opinion is even with this baby cam, there was a huge difference...it idles better and pulls stronger and smoother.
Like thousands of others, I used LS1Howto.com. No major problems, I made my own "Larry tool" for the springs. It's shorter and rides on a socket instead of the edge of the head. I wished I had read more about the harmonic balancer re-install
I thought all I needed to do was warm it in the oven like a loaf of bread...yeah right! 
Modified "Larry tool" on #8:

Nice. Whats the lift on that cam? I'm running a Patriot 225/229 .580/.590 114+4 cam. I noticed you are using 7.425 pushrods. I'm using stock pushrods, and it makes me wonder if I'll need a different size

Yeah I know. I just didn't like the idea of underdriving my alternator & stuff for the sake of a few more HP. I'm happy to say I've got 400HP under the hood, if I've got 394 at the wheels :-)

Great numbers, much better than my Tr224 could achieve (~370rwhp), can't wait to get my EPS cam installed after seeing everybody's crazy high numbers on here.
