Well I'm finally ready to blow some cash on a new cam for my 98 Z28, but I'm concerned about the mileage being an issue. It's a florida car, I bought it with about 76k on it...it now has about 80k...so I can't comment on how hard the first 76k were. It doesn't seem to have any problems with piston slap/lifter noise/oil consumption. If a compression test checks out ok...is there any reson why I shouldn't go ahead and do a cam swap?

Heres the stuff I'm ordering...if anyone sees anything I forgot or should check along the way, please let me know.

TSP Torquer v2
PRC Dual Springs
TSP Push Rods
Ported LS6 Oil Pump
Rollmaster Double Roller Chain (can I get away with an LS2 and stock gears...or should I spend the extra money?)

Any comments appreciated.

I'm installing a large cam in my car...it has 120,000 miles on it. I'm not the least bit worried, but I will be taking a few precautions...mew oil pump, timing chain, etc.

3 different cams. 1 (a 218 something another) before previous owner bought it. Owner bought car and installed 231/237 ran it for about 10k miles. Now I have a 224/224 in and it's got about 2000 miles on it. Total ~108k miles. Made 38X with the 224/224.
