Well it's not TNT anymore. It's a full blown street car shootout. Next one is the 23rd. I see myself running deep 7's.

If I can't find one locally I'm going to order one from Thunder Racing. Thanks!
I've got one you can borrow. Where are you located?

Hey no problem. I bought all the tools needed to do a cam swap. I even bought the aluminum rods that you stick in the block to hold the lifters up so if you need anything let me know. Also bought the Kent ls1 tool kit. Think that's what it's called. Anyway it has pulley puller and other ls specific tools.

My advice is just drop to one. I've done what you are doing and you'll never get them completely done. I learned that the hard way. That is unless you are loaded!

Andrew I will be trying it out later. I just got home from work and I need a few beers to chill. Going to check retainer/seal clearance and install height. I also got a Proform install mic from summit. It was only 50 bucks and looks pretty sweet.

Yeah my install height was at 1.8-1.82 and it should be 1.725.

I bought a pushrod length checker a while back.

Waiting to hear back from Shane@Thunder Racing about the shims.
