Camming a C5 Ok dose anyone know if you need to pull the engine to do a cam swap on a c5 I have been told you do. but maybe someone out there has done it without pulling the engine, let me know thanks. And what would be a good cam to get for driveability and little computer tuning needed?
thanks for any info!

Re: Camming a C5 Thanks guys <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
The steering rack and radiator have to come out to get the cam out with the engine still in the car. No biggie.

Re: Camming a C5 I'm in the process of doing it now....
I left the steering rack in just loosened the engine mounts and jacked up the motor about 5 inches to get the crank pulley off...
I did unbolt the steering rack but did not take it out..
Who knows is might have been easier to remove the steering rack but i like to leave parts in if i can.
I removed the hood that was just way to much in the way...
