very cool cam install video, dyno, etc
Well I finally stopped being lazy and put up some videos I had. go to my site
http://www.darmer.com/videos%20main.htm
cam install was going to be a time elapse kind of thing but I realized that you couldnt see the important stuff, so I moved the camera. (and skipped some stuff on the reinstall due to my excitement) BTW cam is F14
you can check out some pictures I have if you want to, go to http://www.darmer.com and look around
hope you like it!

just some other info,
I used wooden dowels to hold the lifters up, but as you can see in the video, it took a decent amount of finger pressure to pop them back down, (everyone was like that)
I got the oil pickup tube bolt back on my first try.
I really cranked the balancer bolt with all my might it was very hard to turn the extra degrees (listen for sigh of relief in video)

The dowels were both 5/16". I slightly "pointed" the tip and lightly sanded the length to remove burrs. cost less than $2

LS1 intake, 9" rear w/ 3.89 gears, stock pulley, stock heads
the intake is holding me back, and the 9" also creates loss, the important part is that Ill be able to launch good at the track w/o worrying (once I get some good slicks). honestly I care more about track numbers than dyno numbers

I also have a small exhaust leak on the drivers side somewhere, maybe that was part of the noise
