Default Cam/Headers finally installed

Well, after ordering a whole pile of parts almost two months ago, I finally got time over the last couple of weekends to install them. After many hours of work, I got the cam, oil pump, timing chain set, PR's, valve springs, LT's, ORY, and diff. girdle/cover installed. All turned out well. Now I just need to address the tuning and exhaust "cackle" on acceleration between 2200 & 3200 RPM.
Thanks to everyone for all of your advice and help. You guys are what makes LS1tech.com the best!

Good to hear man. I remember my LT install, lots of fun and plenty of cuts (blood mixed w/ oil ). How's the clearance (i'm assuming you went w/ 3" exhaust and CAN'T possibly still be on the stock Y)? I'm bettin' it sounds great.

I'm doin' my H/C install this christmas so definitely lookin' forward to it.

Pacesetter LT's went on great with no fitment issues...unbolted steering shaft and had a buddy pry a bit while I pushed driver's side header up through the bottom and on passenger side I only removed the heat shield on floorpan to get header through, then reinstalled. It made the job alot easier leaving the radiator/condenser & water pump out after installing the cam. I had the front of the car on stands and actually stood between front of engine and core support to bolt on the headers. See sig. for rest of setup. Sounds mean at idle (not ridiculous though).
