Default Cam and header install complete.

Everything went together nicely, no real problems. I put in a new oil pump also. Now the pressure gage is higher than it ever was before even a idle. Is that normal? I'm guessing it's a good thing. I took a vid after start up. Check it out in the multimedia section

I think the 98-99 cars had issues with the oil pump. How many crap out? I don't know. Even if its 1 out of 1000 that would scare me. It only cost $60 and took all of 30 minutes to install, thats cheap insurance.
