Good luck, looks like you have a long weekend ahead of you. If you can why not post some in progress pics?

Will do!

Shay

Nice clean car Shay! Good Luck!
Robert

Damn you went for the grand slam huh? LT's, ORY, and cam all at once is going to haul some major ass compared with what you had before.

good luck bro!! waiting to see pics as well

Damn dude you mean business. I wish I had parts galore to install.

time to pull a couple sleepless nights and go f some shit up! dont forgett a sound clip if you can get us one!

Who's ram air setup is that?

have that same cam on a 113lsa, really wondering how it will perform, let us know what kind of numbers it produces

Thanks guys! I will definitely post up a video once we get it all tuned.

The new cam is in & the timing chain is on however, the parts dept gave me an LS2 damper instead of an LS1 & I'm still waiting on the retainers from Comp (they were supposed to be delivered yesterday) so basically I'm on hold now until Monday. No big deal though since the roads around here are all still covered in salt.

It's an SLP cold air kit. I bought it years ago, so I'm not sure if they're still making them or not.

Well I actually finished it up a few weeks ago, but just haven't had time to get the video & pics downloaded. I wish I would have taken more pics as we were going back together with it, but I couldn't wait to get it done!!

Here's my pile of parts in the corner.....you can't tell I'm o.c.d. can you? :D

And finally here is the video of the initial start-up. It came out a little dark because it was late evening by the time we finished up double checking everything & getting the base-line tune downloaded.
I know I look like a damn 3 year old on Christmas morning, but that's kinda how I felt to finally hear it run.:nod:

Nothing beats starting it up after all that work! :D My camera didn't move once either when I was doing the install because I was too damn excited to finish.

Yea you are a little OCD :rotflmao: At least you wont lose parts though.

As you can see in the video, it brought the neighbors out to see what was going on. Lucky for me, they all like my car & aren't bothered by the noise.

Shay

Wow that car is very clean. It sounds bad ass man. Good work. I am hopefully doing my cam swap in a couple of weeks.

you're cool... HEY lets build something and give it some revs before its even warmed up... :nono:

you gotta contain yourself a little better Danielson...

congrats man sounds badass with the LM1 and kooks

Thanks jackass! I do think it's cool! Actually the car was plenty warmed up when we put the baseline tune in. I guess there's an EXPERT in every thread huh? :eyes:

Shay

It ain't any different then breaking in a cam on an old version V8. A Few revs never hurt anything.

throw names all you want my friend... I wont be the one with a spun bearing... I never claimed to be any kind of expert, but I have had a few back apart and back together again... the right way ;)
