It takes us 10 hours to do this install including the timing chain and valve springs.

On a scale of 1-5 I'd rate it a 3.5 so give yourself a weekend to do it in, grab a buddy and 2 cases of beer, order some pizza and bread sticks and you're set! Oh and air tools/power tools makes this install much easier.

For example a cat-back exhaust install would be a 1-1.5 and a header install a 2-2.5. Transmission removal and re-install would be a 2.5-3.

If it helps, I had my rev limiter set at 7100 and shifts around 6400.

If you'd like me to spec you out a cam profile for your 402 let me know!

I bet you I can make that baby rip!

It's really not that hard, it's just time consuming and there are a lot of little nuts and bolts that need to be itemized so you remember where they go when it's time for reassembly.

It would be great for drifting, but I'd honestly use my Stage 2 "Street Heat" camshaft for 346-370 c.i. motors for that application. The Stage two will make more mid range power and more make more average power from 5500-6500 where the polluter will make more peak and more average from 6200-7200. If you're willing to spin it that high to take advantage of the power either Polluter offers then it would be the ideal choice, but I'd like to see you use the Stage 2. It's specs are 234/240 .61x"/.58x 113+3. V.1 Polluter is 24x/24x .60x"/.61x" 112+0 and V.2 is 239/244 .62x"/.59x" 112+3.

If you have V.1 then I'd shift it closer to 6700rpm to take advantage of all the peak power V.1 offers. I designed V.2 to make more power under the curve than V.1, but I still used enough duration on V.2 to where it will make the same or higher peak numbers than V.2 with better valve train stability and longevity due to milder lobes with a much softer closing ramp so that the valves are opened quickly and fast then set down softly on the closing side.

Do you guys offer a cam kit package for the V.2? What would you need to shift the v.2 at with a stock bottom end with arp rod bolts? Also would a Yank 3600ss work or is the 4000 really needed?

How much would a stage 2 cam pkg b? Saw the price of the cam on the website but didn't see a pkg price. And would it sound similiar to the polluter?

You are (obviously) right. My shift points were actually set at 6800, not 6400. My mistake. The V.2 sounds like a awesome cam.

Yes we do!

Any of our off the shelf cams can be used with the same package The Polluter V.1 was offered in which is 679.99.

I would shift it at 6700-7000rpm depending on the intake manifold being used.

The 4000 or higher even would be my choice. If you have a 3600 I'd rather see you use the Stage 2 which is 231/238 .61x"/.61x" 113+3 or my other Stage 2 for slightly larger motors like the LS2/LQ4/LQ9 which is 234/240 .61x"/.58x" 113+4.

679.99! It won't have quite the rowdy idle the Polluter has, but it will definitely be noticeable and still have a nice lope to it! If you would like for 20 dollars more we can put that Stage 2 cam on a 112lsa for you and it will hit harder at idle that way, but it wasn't the way I intended that cam profile to be used. That said it really won't hurt much except torque after peak and the horse power curve won't carry as far as it would on a 113lsa as it would be moving the ICL to a 109 from 110 and making the exhaust valve open later instead of earlier.

6800 is a good happy medium for that cam to be shifted at. Especially if you don't have rod bolts.
