I know on ls1howto it was wrote-up saying that the springs were the 2nd hardest part of the install.. But in my opinion the cam was a breeze, Now the springs were another story... The 2 on the back of the passenger side were a BIA%^*$ But I did get it done, just took the two hoses off the heater core.. Overall I say that the cam install was a breeze, but springs were a trick.. Now at the same time I did the cam swap I also had the tranny built up with racing parts and a stall installed. Did all this over the weekend and it's a mean bastard. Wonder how far in the 11's I'll be? Have Pacesetter headers and the cam and stall.

Oh and I have true duals dumped at axle w/ bullet mufflers. Magnaflows sound ALOT better from what I've read.
