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?
Here's a few pics after we put the springs in...
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.

Nothing beats starting it up after all that work! 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
At least you wont lose parts though.
