no not at all. its prolly one of the biggest cams you can put in without doing any real major modifications. we just had to do new valve springs, push rods, double rolling timing chain, high volume oil pump.

not to sound like a dick or anything but you do know you could've saved money and used a LS2 timing chain right?

Now if we get enough tax back it can be head time! I was surprised how good it idles. Looked like snow on the ground outside the garage. Thats one way to wake up the neighborhood! Post up some #s when you get it tuned.
