LS1tech + LS1howto = BEST!! Just wanted to thank all of you, this site, and LS1howto for not only giving me the confidence to try my first cam swap, but also the knowledge. 
I justswapped in my TR224 and 918s last weekend and with all the help it was quite literally the smoothes work I've ever done on the car. I've now got over 150 miles on the new cam and everything looks really good so far (well I do have a small oil leak from the pan, but I think I fixed that today). Car runs really nice and actually fired right up after the swap. I'm going to the track Saturday to see what it will do, but I'm not expecting great results as I'm still on stock manifolds, converters, intake, and tune. Regardless the car really gets up to redline a lot quicker and I'm thrilled with the fact I was able to do it myself.
Thanks again!!!

Thanks 99BlancoSS!
Congrats, that was the combo that helped me too. Tech, howto, 99blanco, and Predator living on the other side of the world so he was up to answer my lame PMs when everyone else was sleeping 
Great feeling when everything works good isn't it?

Ok you win, I won't track it till it's tuned. Sadly though I am deploying here in about two weeks so no time for a tune so, I guess I'll have to wait 7-months before I find out if twelves are in the cards.
