I have purchased the below list of parts for my Camaro. I was wondering if I should degree the cam in or not and if so then how much advance would you recommend.

I know the cam comes with 4 deg of advance already.

Please let me know and what you think of the parts I am planning to install.

looks like a good setup, except for the diablo sport tuner. get hp tuners and a wideband or a dyno tune. as for the degreeing the cam, i didnt but half of the people here will tell you it needs to be done.

 

Go with EFILive for your tuning. You might think about a .040 Head Gasket to get the compression ratio up a little.

I installed the T1 a few years ago and I still love it.

Good luck.

Not sure you you need to go to a colder plug. Think I would stick to a tr55. Hope you like a raspy sound cause that's what you'll get with LT's+loud mouth. Personal choice. Setup oughta run like hell! let us know how it goes.

 

hes going to spray, so a tr6 should be good.
