The TTP v3 is a great camshaft, but if this is your first time working on your car I wouldnt start with a cam install. Although its not super difficult, it takes a while and you need to know what your doing. I did my buddies with him but when it came down to doing mine i got such a good deal on the installation costs that I had Dez Racing do it along with the dyno tune. Just be patient and double and triple check your work.

Like it was said above, it's not that hard to do it's just time consuming. If you lived in Fl i'd do it for ya for a few hundred bucks....

My friend and I used this site to do his cam swap. We didn't know how to do it, but the site gave us very good, detailed instructions on what to do, and it turned out perfectly. Just take your time and do it right the first time. You don't want to have to redo it, or even worse start replacing parts cuz you did something wrong.

yea if this is your first cam install, id have someone else do it and watch maybe give them a hand because theres alot involved and theres things that if you havent done it before....you wont think about....so just get some help and learn the right way
