New cam installed
Just finished my cam/springs/push rod swap (See specs in sig). The job took 9 hours with 3 of us. Not bad. Picked up more valve train noise, but the car really pulls now from 4500 up. Should have it back to Norris for my tune in a week or so and will have numbers then, hoping to see 410 or so NA and 570 on the juice.
Anyone "on the fence" about throwing a cam in should do it. I am pleasently surprised at the freeing up of power!

Had a code at start up (multi misfires) and it had to hunt down the idle, but this is usual (3rd cam done on an LS style engine, first on the C5). My Z was already tuned by Norris, so it was probably not as bad as someone with a stock tune. Idle is now solid at 800rpm. The car does drop under after a hgih rev (4000rpm), but after it is re-tuned that should go away. The car started right upidled rough but never died just to let you know.
I say 420? Good luck and post them numbers, and any track times since the new cam???
