Is gots me a cam

Long story short, we pulled the car in last night at around 7, ate supper for an hour and by 12ish we had it fired up. Went with a tr224 with a set of comp behives and thunder chromoly push rods. Needs a little tuning done but the car pulls hard and strait up runs better.thanx matt94z

You had a cam swapped in 4 hours? Did I read that right?

Congrats on the swap, sounds like everything went really well.

Yeah pretty much, it all went smooth until we started it and started to do some tuning where it would idle, ended up I didnt get the bellows on good and it had a massive leak.
But yeah, With a lift and all the right tools we needed it went pretty smooth. Used the "TIM'S" valvespring tool for the springs. And there were two of us working on it, but it was our first one in a LS motor

Hell yeah, it was a hell of a lot easier than swappin one in a LT1 lol. Love the lift as well. Can't wait to get mine swapped now. Car pulls like a beast with the new found power.
