Default X1 cam install in progress

I dropped the car off at MTI yesterday. Car's under the knife as we speak getting X1 cam, stainless works long tubes (swaintech coated), asp pulley, a shift light and of course ls1edit tune.

I'm getting no headwork, except whats necessary to seat the new dual Isky springs. Man, I can hardly wait for the results! Ought to be like a brand new car with new power and lope! I should get it back Thursday or Friday. :cool:

:cool: Are you putting in a new timing chain while it's opened up? Curious as to what MTI recommends.

You should be very happy with that cam and the headers. :cheers: :yesnod:

MTI said the LS6 timing chain is more than adequate, so I guess I'm sticking with the stock uinit.

I'm anxious to see what it runs too; just hope my stock clutch holds up for awhile.

[street racer hat on] And J-rod, you've got the 40rwhp driver mod over me, so we ought to be a wash :D
