Finally!!! Well, I finally got my cam installed and it sounds awesome!! I am pretty pleased the the install went rather smoothly. All I need now is a good tune and get the most out of it. Pulls pretty hard in the midrange. I got a lot of help from people here on this site. Thanks. Now I just got to get my rear end fixed (pinion and carrier bearings).....

Its the infamous hotcam 219/228 .525/.525. on a 112.
Oh yeah, I also put in a new oil pump and LS2 timing chain. Just turned over 90k so I thought it wouldnt hurt. That pick up tube was a pain in the @$$.

what kind of oil pump did you go with? and did you just do the chain or did you get the t/c set?

Hey, did you blow the rear end before or after the cam? lol
Congrats on the upgrade!

kartoon: I used the LS2 timing chain and the LS6 oil pump (which is the standard replacement when ordered).
ShrevolayZ28: My rear end started going out a couple of months before my cam install. I hope tuning takes care of the problem cuz it gets hot as hell here in TX!!!

yeah your tune will get rid of your car dying with the a/c on. Mine also did that after I installed my hot cam, but it all went away after my tune. good luck. hot cam sounds nice doesn't it
