Heads and Cam question
I ordered MTI heads and cam, and am having a mechanic friend install them. He usually works on mustangs and i was looking to see where i can find all the torque specs and info he would need for the bolts and general instructions, does anyone know where i can find and print them? also, is it ok to drive the car after installation? i would have to drive it about 200 miles for the tune and i dont know if i should trailer the vette there or drive it? is there a break in period? and should i use synthetic oil or regular oil if there is a break in period? thanks.

No break in period needed with a roller cam. Use synthetic oil.
