What else during cam install??
So should I have the under drive pulley installed at the same time? What are the pro's/ con's of the pulley?
Anything else?

Yes, you should have it installed. Cons are the alternator wont make full charge until a higher rpm, but 99% of the people on here will never notice. Only the big stereo guys seem to mind. Pros are a bit more horsepower.

Upgrade the timing set maybe while you're in there. I put in the dual roller RollMaster (requires slight mod to the pulley). I also swapped in a ported oil pump.

jmX- Thanks for info. Sources for the pulley?
Patches- Some vendors say to replace the chain. Even if I don't upgrade to that sweet looking set-up you have, should I atleast replace it?

Replace the chain while you're in there with a single, hi-po chain. Several of the forum vendors sell upgraded chains. It's cheap insurance IMHO.
Also, I got the RollMaster chain/sprocket set from an Australian company for about $80, including shipping and it came in a week. The same set is available stateside for about the same price. :yesnod:

How about some nice Comp 'R' hydraulic lifters (part # 875) to go with your cam. And maybe some hardened chromeoly push rods while you're in there.
Keep us posted! :cheers:

:D :lol: :D :lol:
Honestly, I plan on doing the dual roller and underdrive pulley when I change out my cam, also.
Will setting the idle higher (say 900) alleviate the charging problems at idle from the underdrive pulley? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Scott, no kick-backs but definitely satisfied with my setup. :D
The cam you're putting in shouldn't require your idle to be that high, especially with your 114 LSA. The UD pulley won't affect your charging system to the extent that you'll notice. I've noticed no charging problems since my install.
Give me a call when you're ready to do this and I'll give you the particulars on the pulley mod required to accomodate the dual roller. :cheers:
