Heads and Cam is in!!!!
Heads and Cam is in!!!! ...Well, after 22 hours I finally got my GM847 Cam and Ported and polished heads put in (2.00/1.55). I haven't really gotten into it but the SOTP is bad *** just hitting it alittle 
It was such a bitch to put everything in, but it definatly paid off. I still need a tune, and its got some surge down low, but other than that everything is tight. It sounds so mean at idle 
This is the biggest mod i have done to date (only 18) Once it gets tuned, and i get some nittos, i am hoping for low 12's/high 11's. Once I get a bigger intank fuel pump, and bigger injectors (if i need them) I am gonna run a 150 shot (hopefully 10's) and then im gonna need a rear 
....If it even makes it that long LOL. Anyway, i just had to let u guys know how it went, i had been asking alot about it and figured i would let everyone know how it turned out. Thanks to all those who helped, Dave.

so we had to use a little plastic peice from a cap to undo it (ghetto i know but it worked 
) Another thing when we did the piston to valve clearence test the intake valve (2.00) hit the outside of the dish (the little slot on top of the piston) BARELY so we had to dremel the little dishes on the piston (intake side). That was the main things....I didn't have any egr because i took it all out when i did the longtubes, so im sure that probally helped alot not having all that crap in there. Also the block was left in the bay. Good luck when u get yours done, u will love it. I still smile about it everytime i drive it LOL and i have already gotten a TON of complements of how it sounds
