Default cam install

HI I need to hear from someone here on the step by step involved with doing the cam swap, i am being told with the blower the cam swap is a good idea, i also want to raise the boost. Any input would be great, i plan on doing the work myself since i don't have a shop that won't overcharge me, if i was in the USA the pricing is really good unfortunatly here it's not.
thanks
J-P

ok 59 ppl looked and no help so maybe i can help someone else too, i will be buying the 2 tools recommeded by BigMay60 and follow the instruction that CYA-Vett sent me and maybe make up an idiot guide to doing this then i could sell the tools with the instruction as a reduced price and we can keep passing this on to forum members.
Just an idea.

I just finished reading the instruction they are very well written i don't think i could say more he went into great detail good job.

A proper cam install is pretty involved so it takes more than a few sentences to cover it. Many people refer folks over to the LS1tech forum where there is a step-by-step write up for an LS1 car. There are also several good inexpensive ($15.00) books from Amazon.com that cover LSx rebuilds which are chocked full of good info, specs and photos.
