Default Will motor be ok?

I am about to install a lingenfilter gt2-3 cam in my car. And needed to know if my shortblock will be ok with 100k miles on the car currently? Is there anything I should worry about?

Your shortblock will be fine. Just be sure to upgrade your valvetrain. New valvesprings, retainers, pushrods.

What kind of oil pressure do you current read ?

Be carefull that you don't nick the cam bearing as you install it and put a new oil pump on (LS6, Melling and ported if you want).

As long as you are a tad over 40 at cruise it's working fine.
