The cam install was fairly easy. The hardest part is dismantling everything. I cannot really see replacing the cam with the engine in the car though.
I do have some pics. I will work on getting them posted.
As far as horsepower, my tune is essentially still stock (Area is helping me with that). I am running EXTREMELY rich at this point. I can say 2nd and 3rd pull REALLY well right now. However, I did a shift kit, downpipe and rockers at the same time, so which one is really doing the most is hard to say.
My idle is about 600 rpm, fairly quiet. Cruising is nice and quiet too. But when you step on it, it has this nice lope. I don't think it is any louder, but the wife says it is.
I did not go with an overly agressive cam, I went with a stock LS2 cam.
I have not punched it from a dead stop yet because I want to have my trans ready to go in first.
I will say though guys, check your tie rods. I had a bad one on the driver's side. Keep in mind, I only have 8600 miles on my car.
