Ok, I picked up two more antennas, they are complete for conversion for you lesser manual mast people. They are both up for grabs, I am willing to install them too. Kev, I'll give you first shot, but dont snooze too long. PM me for prices.
tsench, I would be happy to help, you just tell me when. Here is a good website for cam installs among other things. LS1 How To
Having pulled my engine out once before I do recommend the Kent Moore flywheel locking tool to help get the balancer/crank pully combo off, it utilizes the starter bolt holes to stop the flywheel/engine from turning. That balancer is a MF to get off. Be prepared to be shocked though, it is expensive and I borrowed mine. You dont have to have it though. Let me know what the specs are for the cam, and what rocker arms you are using and I can tell you alot more. You will need a valve spring compressor, a valve spring change will be necessary as any aftermarket cam will be too much for the stockers. Be careful choosing one as some will not access the last two springs under the cowl of an f-bod. And as always, the more trick the tool the higher the price.

I took my front wheel drive v-6 Grand Prix and first pull I put down
306 fwhp and 311 fwtq. The second pull I armed the nitrous and
when I hit the button the input shaft in the trans let go so I had to
haul it home broke. Should have made around 400ish if it hadn't
broke. I had the 150 shot jets in the car.......

You should have been there, it was alot of fun. Good turn out. Three camaros ran, two GTPs ran, one nova, a powerstroke ford, and a cummins dodge. The dodge putting up the best numbers. Had Jack not broken his GTP it would have been the most powerful car there. My Camaro put down 337 hp and 395 tq. Mods in sig.

no he couldn't extract it, but his dad drilled it out and used a new nut and bolt. so, he was able to use the same bracket. btw, the cam and pacesetters sound awesome.

I'm looking at going to the track in Rusk Saturday February 17th
for some test n tune passes in the Camaro and was looking to see
if anyone else might like to show up and run or just hang out and
make an afternoon of it. It's about time for all of us to get together
again and I need to make some passes to burn some adrenalin.....

are they going to be open then lol the way the weathers been lately who knows, i could do rusk on the bike pretty easily, im trying to sell the car to get a new car, be nice to have it by then but not to likely, looking at getting a 02 LS1 car or a 05 GTO if i can find one i can afford either that or a 03 cobra ......
The cobra and GTO just kinda depend on what i can find price wise, could prolly find a nice heads/cam TA/SS in my price range though
