cam swap done! after 18 hours or so of working its done. I replaced the oil pump,timing chain, cam, lifters, valve seals (they were almost all junk), and put on a ls6 intake. Everything went pretty smoothly until we dropped a bolt into the oil pan, but after an hour and a half of ****** around we got it out and everything back into place. It pulls pretty fricken hard all the way to the rev limiter.... ill post some sound clips tomorrow, im way to spent to even get off my ***... it was worth the work though!

Any pictures of the install? what are your cam specs?
Good job doing it yourself! I just bought a 228/232 cam, but have to wait til I get the rest of the parts also.

Cool I just installed the tourquer v2 in my camaro and I bought the 5/16 steel rods, and could olny get them half way in so I took my chances and swaped the cams. Got lucky and no lifters dropped

Maybe he wanted to guard against a brief moment of stupidity like I experienced when I pulled my cam. 
I cannot count to 16. I start getting confused around 14. 
Start pulling my cam out and hear “clunk clank clunk”. Dohhhh! 
Good job 2000NavyZ. Feels good to know you did your own work does it not?

my question was, if he was changing lifters wouldnt the heads be off and there be absolutely no reason to even need dowels? unless he swaped in the cam, then pulled the heads.
Did you do any headwork while you had the heads off?

are those numbers somewhat low? my buddys 01 SS has a 224/224 with abotu a .580 lift on a 114, ps LT's, ory, and a slp catback, lid, and he put down 395/387. with the highewr duration i would think those numbers should be higher, but you also have a stall which might contribute.

In your other post, you said the cam you installed was the TR 230. those specs are 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA. did you get a custom grind on top of the TR 230?
