Thats a big *** cam for a stock LS1. Flycutting will probably be necessary, and it will drive like ****. A4 or M6?

WTF did you buy a cam and not do your homework first?

Use the search through here or Google search. There are plenty of guys here at the tech who build/install/spec cams that you could have searched first and pick on their brains before you bought a BIG *** DONKEY DICK cam for your LS1. Really?

Gotta be nice here, being the newbie section and all. Maybe he though it was like speccing a cam for a carbed 350?

Thats a big cam. Did you take to them about your goals for the car? Or did you see the biggest cam they had, and went with that. Research a little more, and ask lots of ? then you get close to what you want out of the car.

That cam is gonna suck ***** unless the whole car is set-up for it. Pay the restocking fee and send it back.

I would doubt that will clear w/out flycutting. Definitely check your PTV before you fire it if you put it in. Feel free to give me a call if you decide to go with something else and we can go over your project and make sure we get you something that will work and get you where you want to be!
