Swapped out my cams this week end, had a hard time finding the crank position sensor (obscured by engine cradle). Long story short, shaved 3 seconds off of my 0-60. Feels so much better, not to mention that the timing was actually off of few teeth, perhaps the last timing was done without the cam tool. Highly recommended upgrade.

nice have you done any porting on the intake side yet?

mrprism133

not yet, just the swap. i have plans to rebuild the engine. my next 2 classes are manual transmissions, and auto, so i plan on a rebuild as i attempt a manual swap

piece of advice, purchase already rebuilt bottom end, cheaper, and less pain in the ****

mrprism133

i saw it on ebay, i want it. i'm still debating on whether or not to get one as part of a donor, and rebuild it myself or spring for a factory reb
