I have the same cam and am very happy with it. Make sure you have a good pulley puller and a LS1 specific valve spring compressor. A typical autozone/sears type of valve spring compressor won't be sufficient if you're doing the swap with the engine in the car.

I'm glad you told me that. I was just planning to get the valve spring compressor from Auto Zone
