Default How to install cam?

I am thinking of installing a cam myself. I already have the valvetrain done so it is just a straight cam swap. Can any give me a heads up on tools I will need and a link to detailed instructions. Plus any tips would be great.

www.ls1howto.com

there is a good detailed description on there, of a heads cam swap, can't remember is there is a cam only swap, but I am sure you can read through there and figure out the differences, Basically its pretty easy, and if you have all the parts, it shouldn't take you much more than a day to swap the cam.

What cam are you gonna use? If you are gonna use the 918's that are currently in the engine, changin the cam should be easy. Half the work is changin the springs.

I am putting in the GM ASA cam. 226/236 .525/.525 110 LSA. So I am leaving the 918 springs alone.
Thanks for the links.
