What kind of oil pressure were you seeing? You've had the cam in for a while did the pressure slowly start dropping off, or was it always the same. Are you still thinking about the TSP 231/237?

Side note, my cars under the knife, wish some 60 degree weather would stay here

i had the cam for a while, but the oil pressure been 30 cold and 15 - 20 warm. i really havnt drove the car much since the install. the pressures bee n like that since the install. im backing out of the TSP because of stupid emissions. thats the ONLY reason

I had to elongate the mounting hole for my pickup for it to fit right, but my motor was on a stand too. Ive been curious as to how people are getting to tube to fit with it still bolted up.....
