Torquer cam is in!
Torquer cam is in! I finally got my cam install done last weekend. Stayed up till 4 am to finish it! It started right up and oil pressure shot up to 60 pretty quick so I was quite happy! Only drove it like 10 miles or so, and I didn't rev over about 2500. The car feels pretty much like stock except when taking off I can tell it's lacking some of the grunt it used to have, but it picks up pretty quick and can still easily cruise in sixth gear at 55 mph. The idle is insane!! I love it!!! 
Now i'll be spending all my time trying to tune the sucker, but that should be kinda fun. I was really surprised how much louder it got. The magnaflow is usually considered to have a pretty quiet idle, but not anymore! I don't think i'd want it any louder for street use. I still want to get a cutout though for racing. I used the crane valvespring compressor and I must say it's well worth the money. It took a little over 2 hrs to do everything (seats, seals, springs, retainers), and it was my first time. Sorry for the long post, but I'm so happy to have it running again!
