Cam Install done
The cam install is done. Went with a Magic Stick 237/242 .603/.609 and a underdrive pulley. The install went with out a problem and had to only make one trip to the auto parts.
A big thanks to Micah (mph1972) who was here all day from the begining to the end. I would not have finished today without his help. I drove it 5 miles and it ran good with just a quick tune I threw together. I will be dyno tuning it next weekend.
Thanks again Micah for the help.

Congrats brother! HE is a great guy too and I have talked with him before. Love to see us help each other out. Are you taking it to CAM for the dyno time and tune? I was looking at a TSP MS for my car (can't keep a bump stick for more than 6 months
) and the opinion is I would gain 10 RWHP on top and loose it down low... not worth it and it would be realy tight PVC on my heads... Congrats brother keep us posted and I bet it sounds great

No, I have my own tuning business so I am tuning it myself. I have it tuned now I just havent had time to throw it on the dyno. My car drives like stock and I get 30mpg on the interstate at 70mph with cruise on. So its true you can have best of both worlds.

I am going to get it on the dyno tmorrow if my clutch will last for a couple of pulls. Its on it very last leg. If I just floor in any gear I can shift maybe one more time before the clutch is on the floor or to hard to push in. The slave cylinder is dead. If not it will be a couple of weeks till I can do the clutch, slave, tranny brace, output shafts and whatever else I can think of.
