Default TSP 231/237 Is installed!!!!

Well finally got around to putting in the cam and springs and ****. ME and my buddys did it in 3 day, working on it from 5-9.So 12 hours aint that bad for the first time puting a cam in. Monday got it all torn down, cam in, new timing chain installed, new oil pump, and got the front all put back together. Tuesday was all devoted to putting in the dual valve springs, whihc i might add is very time consuming. Only problem we had was after we completey finished the driver side, we realized that we ddint seat the valve seals right, so we did the otherside correctly and had to redo the driver side, aftyer that put the valve cover on, Tonight, was a breeze if you could say, put new ls6 intake on, pulley, waterpump, radiator, fans all that stuff. Then the moment of truth, did i get that damn oil pump o ring on right or not. Well it fired right up, had oil pressure in 5 seconds. On the stock tune it didnt want to stay running, so we held the tb little bit open till it warmed up and shut it off and checked everything. After we cleaned the mess up we moved the car outside and after a while it found its idle at about 800rpm, and i would have say at the point i got a woody, that thing sounded so badd *** at idle. Nest tuesday it going to speed inc for a tune and weill see what she puts down. Im hoping for 400 rwhp.

Overall for the install of everything, i expected it too be a little harder than it was, if you just take your time and dont rush **** it will be all good.

Congrats on the setup. Should put down 400 hp. But this cam loves a good set of heads. Good luck.

Yeah I wanted a cam too, but I thought I could wait until next spring just like you. But I was wrong... I helped a friend install his FM11 cam last weekend and when I heard it for the first time, I knew I needed a cam NOW.

So the next day I ordered a cam package from TSP... now I just have to sell all my worldly possessions that aren't attached to my car in order to afford it.

You bastard! I cant order mine for 2 more weeks! I'm so excited over this cam it's not even funny... Cool thing is that I'll be running almost the same set up as SouthFL.02.SS so I cant wait to see what #'s you get...
