  • Just bought a Cam

    Like the topic says, just a bought a cam from Mike. Its a Comp cam 216/216 .506 lift on intake and exhaust. 112 LSA with a 108 IC...pretty much the exact same Cam as the GT2. The only difference being the slightest difference (if any) on the lift and a 112 LSA instead of the 111. The only thing I plan on upgrading (for now) is gonna be the valvesprings. I have a set of LS1 springs ready to install. Do I really need to change my timing chain during the install or is it just recommended?

    Lol oh and before i get bashed on for having an open rear end and stock gear, i have 3.42's sitting here next to me and a differential at the shop waiting to get installed. The cam will go in first though.

                I've usually seen them for $299.00 brand new on most sites that sell 3800 cams.

                    Received the cam just yesterday. The address was wrong, so i called UPS and took care of the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience, but thanks for such prompt shipping!
