Okay, heres tha deal guyz. I have a 98 Trans Am LS1 with 94,000 miles on it and I recently purchased this cam from a guy off this board. I am planning to do the cam install pretty soon along with my true duals and new pacesetters that are supposed to come in this week. I have installed most of the bolt on stuff but never have I installed a cam. I have the stuff from ls1howto.com but I was wondering if you guys could provide me with any tips or tricks to the install thatcha know of and problems that I will run into. Thanks a lot...

Also, I have the cam, 918 springs, timing chain, and working on the pushrods. Do I HAVE to get an LS6 oil pump? If I dont will it screw my car up? I am gonna have to ride around without a tune for a little while, will I need to drill the TB? Let me know if Im missing something.

The only current mods I have is: Lid, Filter, all free mods, cutout, ported maf. I dont have ls6 intake or pulley. I know its good to install them with the cam but I just cant afford it now and I dont have a credit card! Thanks again!

An oil pump is not required but a very good idea. You'll be really if the oil pump dies after you were just in there.

Ive been told just to handport mine and Id be good. This true? Also, would I be good with a dynotune considering it is bout 500 dollars cheaper than edit at Thunder Racing?
