Default Cam install info needed

Interested in getting a cam for my car. How long does it take to get one installed?

How do you install it? Pull the engine out?

Thx for any info.

do you know what cam you want?
As for time for the cam it all depends on your expereience, and tools around you. You can put in a cam, pushrods, valesprings, and a new timing chain in a couple of hours. then you will have to get it dynotuned.

I'd read quite a bit before you attempt to do anything with your car.

Sorry, forgot to mention that, I would have a shop do it for sure...Then re dyno tune. I want something that doesn't give up tourque....maybe 370hp/370trq....Maybe being conservative.

Thx
