it took about 2 hours with the gfs help
getting the setup taken apart wasnt hard...i did it the "easy way"though
i zip tied the cam gears to the chain and held them up so i wouldnt have to retime
once i got the old cam out and the new one back in it was just hard to get the gear back up to the cam (as the tensoner is pulling on it)
and foudn that the corners of EVERYTHIGN in there HURTS...its SHARP!!!!!!
the second one was ALOT easier and its all put back together now lol
my back REALLY hurts from the angle i was standing at lol

lolol, its all good :P
vince is tuning on tues (also installed intake mani, tb, injectors, alt pulley, crank pulley)
i will MOST Def get some clips, vids, all that
but yes, stg2 2 cams and ill talk with vince about the rev limiter, but ill prob just keep it at 7k where he put it last time, we might up it and see if any good power is made after that...if not then leave it at 7k
ya, they werent in the way of the head if it were to slip up and out, but youd have to keep tension so it didnt slep around the crank gear down below

Are you running on stock valve train?
And to put the cams in you don't need any other parts or anything right just the cams?
