It's Alive Finally!! Well guys I finally started my cam swap on xmas eve and it looked like it was going to go pretty well. Within 2 hours I had everything off the car and the old cam ready to come out. However I had 2 lifters that refused to stay up and even with dowels wouldnt let the cam slide through.
I had the bright idea to use pen magnets, while one worked great the other broke the magnet off inside the head.
What was on track to be finished in a day just turned into a cluster****. So thanks to a friend who had an extra bolt set and head gasket I was able to pull the passenger head off and finally get everything reassembled yesterday afternoon.
Heres what we ended up with. F13 cam 230/232 .595.585 114lsa PSI1511 springs 7.425 pushrods. Rest of the mods are in sig.

Video of the valvetrain warm. I think it sounds pretty good with the 7.425's in it preload is in spec just wondering what you all think what you all who drive cammed cars think? Ignore the studder there in the middle still on stock tune.
