got my cam installed today
it's been sitting in my closet for awhile but i finallly got around to getting it installed. it's a GT2-3 and you can't even tell it's in the car. when everything was complete, i fired it up and it took about 10 seconds for the idle properly. i let the springs heat cycle and no lights popped up. .
the guys i had put it in started around 9:30 am and didn't get finished until after 6pm. everything was going fine until they tried to put the crank pully on. i think they spent a good couple hrs the crank enough to get the crank bolt in a couple threads into the block. NOTE: if you plan on using the stock crank pully on your cam install, think again. once the cp was it things went pretty smoothly. now i just need it to be spring time so i can down the track and see how much of a difference it makes.

Rob-only other thing i have on the car is a lid. i'm going to wait a couple weeks before i take it back to the dyno.
Predator-the guys doing the install heated it up 3 times before they got it to go in.
