Good luck.

that just boosted my confidence 50%, the other 50 is due to blacknredss putting up with my annoying questions and whining. Thanks a bunch guys!! anyone else with this cam or similar setup??

I would like to keep tabs with you on how all this works out and such. Please be sure to let me know your progress and how you like the package when you get it all installed and tuned. I am thinking about getting the same stuff you are and wouldn't mind for you to be the test rat

This is great.

I bought that exact package on a 112 from Zach last Thursday.

Torquer V.2
PRC Spring Kit
Ported LS6 pump
LS2 Timing chain (the kit)
TSP Hardened Pushrods

I plan on starting the install the last weekend in July. We should stay in touch and compare notes.

According to Zach this will run just fine on the street and the PRC springs are more than sufficient for this cam. I was just a nervious as you were, this being my first cam install.

I still need to buy a spring compressor. I am thinking about the Tims Tool.
