Default cam is in

hardest part was the pulley, as soon as i got the pulley off it took about 30 minutes to have the cams swapped and the lil cover plate back on. i used a lil thick oil treatment stp stuff since it will be setting there for a few days till i can get my springs in. thats the only thing left besides tommorow im just going to swap in my ls2 chain.. after lookin at the slack in the stock one, i made the decision to go ahead and go thru oil pump "o" ring hell lol. then im going to start piecing everything back together so when the springs arrive its just them, valve covers and coil packs and all the plugs ect..

my cam and pushrods came out beutiful... there shiny and clean nieither have any sign or any wear whatsoever... the springs looked really good too.. i will sell it all, just make an offer.

232.6/234.4 .600/.600 114lsa.... or in other words FMS F-14~! i only have mac mids right now and 3.23's and a 3000 stall rebuilt trans. and will prolly run stock pulley minus a/c stuff, but the car was a 7.80 1/8th mile car before the cam so it can really only get better.. car is pretty light at around 3380 raceweight right now so it should get moving pretty good until i can get 3.73's and then a 3500.. i also spray a TNT 150 shot, so it will have low end tq i hope off the line with that. hell it ran in the 8.1's all nite long with lid cutout nitto 245's and stock stall/manifolds and cats.

let me know what you think.. i think i can knock down a 7.59-7.65 first nite with mail order tune and some m/t dr's... on motor only ofcourse

i think once i gt everything else dialed in i can possibly go low low 7's and a lil better on the gas.

well yes, the rears front seal is leaking ofcourse already.. i plan on a rebuild kit with 3.73's and a t/a cover for now..... but since i like to spray off the line, i may just save for a 12 bolt and not spray, or i may just keep a small shot on it for now either way, when i go to have it dyno tuned at c.a.m. i intend to have the gear put in next door or what not then.. but for now mail order tune and 3.23's no sense in making 2 trips.... plus he charges 250 for the mail order and then only 150 more for the dyno tune.. 400 altogether either way. his mail order tunes are as close as they come i hear so im not to worried, but i wont put any nitrous thru it period till i beef up the rear a lil bit and get it fully dyno tuned for it.
