New Cam installed Finished it up yesterday afternoon. Brother STARK (Mike)... 
gave me a hand with the install...put a new oil pump, chain, water pump, 160* thermo, rocker arms, dual springs, seats, seals, push rods, titainium retainers, and 233\233 .595\.595, 112 LSA +2 TSP cam...the car has 80K miles on it so I replaced a couple of things since I had it torn down..sounds good but really needs a tune..getting that done Friday and some dyno time..I am hoping for some good numbers...I'll post up the results..test drove 
it to the Wed. nite gathering at the Hoootaaas... 
..I have had these parts sitting in the garage for a couple of months and finally got around to doing the install..been real busy at work...finally I just said the hell with it took a day off and did it..gotta get your priorities straight... 
..got a nice compilment from a couple of guys at the QT this morning on the way to work...when I fired it up and they heard the idle they started grinning 
and gave me the ol thumbs up!!!.. ..That made the skinned knuckles worth while..

Hay Nick..I went with the LS2 chain..it didn't cost much and since I work at a dealer I got a deal on it..
..I think it was like $25 or $26 ...did you check the photo of your car???...there is a smuge on the side...better buff that out man...

Hell, if you'd want to come on by and throw out pointers when I do my H/C swap you can have all the beer you can drink. Probably gonna do it here in a few weeks.
Still need to get an ORY, timing chain, oil pump, gaskets
