Summit Ghost Cam installed Drives just like stock, although its untuned still. Itll hold idle in nuetral/park AFTER i drive it a bit. Will have to hold on the tune because of a drop in oil psi which is driving me crazy at the moment. From idle at 35/37 at full operating temp in stock trim, it now idles maybe at 5psi. Cold starts at 35/37, before 60/65.

Tried two different opsd and both read the same. Oil pump was not touched, retainer plate looked good so we re used it, but i just found out silicon was used on it too. At this point im gonna replace the oil pump and pick up tube, i have a feeling something might have fell thru into the pan since its been super windy out here. Also gonna replace the retainer plate.

Because it was in good condition and simply got overlooked as parts were ordered, i was not there when the work was done either.

I imagine with a 4k converter and some dome pistons or some crafty headwork that cam would be awesome in a 4.8

im hoping thats all it is, everything was fine and im not trying to replace cam bearings just yet lol. Number of things point to just the retainer...just ordered one from summit, since these are the new style plates, 18ftlbs the correct torque on the new sryle?

Have you dropped the pan to inspect and replaced the cam retainer plate yet?
Ive used the hold style bolts before and not had a problem but for the extra $6 or whatever it was for new style bolts its a good idea. Yours may come with them anyways
