first internals ive ever atempted hey guys, need a lil help. so i baught some parts of this guy last weekend and he ended up having a cam, that i decided i needed but didnt have the money at the time. i go to the field for a week and i come back and my wife surpised me with the cam. pretty awesome right. its a lunati 5501lun i really couldnt find much information on it minus all the specs that completly blew my mind. the only part i could gather which was on a few diff sites was "excellent idle increased low end, mid range torque and power." excelent idle im assuming means its not real choppy? any ways the cam has 1200mi on it. my wife got it for 100bucks and considering the cheapest i found it was $340, so im thinking i got a pretty good deal, so to my question, do any of you know what kind of gains its good for and what else should be replaced while im replacing that valve springs and lifters, andthign besides that. hey i appreciate any help you guys can give me. thanks

very well..got a new question i was reading another thread and a few people had said not to swap cams in high mileage cars. my 01 ss has 101,004 mi on the tac. do the risks out way the rewards on this project? my car has been maticulously maintained and never had an issue, but i dont want to risk doing something that may make it less reliable.
